Saga August

[maxymax]

Last clue to get in Saga August. 9ac is "Fish-that is to say,perch?" S - R - D. Both scrod and sprod are fish,but don't know which one to choose! Help

[slaney]

sc= abbreviation for scilicet (namely) so Scrod.

Thanks Slaney - that was my preference but I was not terribly happy with scilicet particularly as sp is abbreviation for sine prole which translates as without issue. Are you still sure?

[slaney]

Hi maxymax, I'm not doing this crossword, but namely means much the same as "that is to say", and I would be happy with silicet (sc).
Sine prole - without issue or offspring (childless) does not fit at all.

[maxymax]

Thanks Slaney I bow to your superior judgement. I interpreted without issue as being for certain which I felt could be interpreted as that is to say

[maxymax]

"Queen with varlet at Old Windsor"(4,4) _ _ _ E / _ A _ E. Any ideas

[slaney]

Anne Page - character in The Merry Wives of Windsor
