I'm thinking Prod but can't really work out why ?

18d Uplift needed for the body of OT work (4)
A?O?

My thought is Amos but not sure about the uplift bit other than Soma has reference to bra !

Atop?

[Mamyalynne]

I think Soma is an uplifting drink, a tonic.

New one on me mamya
so·ma 2 (sō′mə)
n.
An intoxicating or hallucinogenic beverage, made from a plant or fungus whose identity is now unknown, that was offered to the gods and consumed by participants in Vedic ritual sacrifices.

Wasn't Soma the intoxicant of choice in Brave New World?

[dave1948]

Thank you Mamyalynne And captain 2 for the explanation and yes it should be halfway.

[bibblebub]

soma is a body and 'uplift' means that it is to be reversed

[ladyalex]

That's what I thought, Sandy.

Not seeing how it leads to Amos, though....

[Mamyalynne]

I think Bibble is closer, though the answer stands.

Thanks, bibblebub....now where does OT work fit in ?

[dave1948]

More answers and thank you for the explanations of soma. I think Amos must be the answer and your kindness has certainly been an uplift to me !

[Mamyalynne]

Amos is a book of the OT.

[sandyRoe]

Amos is a book of the OT
