2d. borrow ?

[bows13]

thank you all for your help and for explanation

[Davemano]

Not sure about 2d

[Mamyalynne]

If it read

accept someone else's advance

then Haras would be right.

Agree with LEAN TO (ANT in LEO)
And truncate has been fully explained. I'm not sure about 2d- borrow would be okay if clue said "accept someone else's..."

[Davemano]

^^ Agree Mamya.

[fiction-factory]

Sorry Mamyalynne- yours wasn't there when I started

[Mamyalynne]

It's fine, we agree.

The "Accept ..." version has been used before by a setter

Don't know if haras is thinking of a similar, but differently worded clue from yesterday?
