Genius 262 Help With Last 2 Please

[quinol]

* husband against filling periods of desire, (this must be whatnot, but can't parse)

* new line north the way to do things, I think this is gismo or gizmo, but don't know which and can't pass the 1st 3 letters

(these clues are undefined and mean some kind of doodad)

[Lie-in King]

Whatnot - 'h(usband) + to (against)' (filling periods of; separately) 'want' (desire)

Gizmo - 'zig' (new line, north; up) + 'm(odus) o(perandi)'

[Lie-in King]

I'm not sure I worded the first one very well, hope it makes sense...

[Neveracrossword]

Lie-in King, thanks for the parsing of 'Husband...'. I stuck my answer in on Monday, just because it fitted. I think your parsing was excellent, it's the clue itself that seems a bit on the clunky side!

Cheers Nac 🙂

many thanks lieinking, the 'periods' puzzled me in the clue,

is zig a new line from zigzag?

[Neveracrossword]

Quinol, Zig, just Zig, is in Chambers - defined as a new line.

[Neveracrossword]

PS I added that bit, although Lie-In King had zig/line in his parsing - I was just confirming the definition.

thank you nac, another new word to note
