Question Author
so, if 17a is "mane", what's 2d: hierarchy secure? Scoff over that (4,5)
f?o? c?a??

I tght t 2d was flow chart, it can't be flow chart if 17a is mane.

Cheers, chox.,
Food chain
Question Author
many thanks everyone, for all your help today. All done now. Cheers, chox.
I thought exactly like Chokkie, but of course 17 ac must be MANE. However, if 'scoff over' is FOOD ...why? A better solution would be FLOW (turned over is WOLF - to scoff.) But is FLOW CHAIN a known term?
Scoff - slang for Food
Food chain (hierarchy) - 'chain' (secure) (with) 'food' (scoff, over; above)
Scoff

noun
noun: scoff
1.
food.
"ice cream was seen as suitable scoff to keep the under-tens quiet"
synonyms: food, fare, eatables, refreshments;
Thanks, Mamya. Yes of course FOOD CHAIN fits the definition perfectly. Had only ever thought of scoff as a verb.
