[Cruciformist]

Is there a clue number 40 referred to in no. 6?

[vakayu]

8 stub - short thick nail (horseshoes)

[vakayu]

lwarx -raw backwards and XL for 40

[shooty]

I looked into 'lwarx' , but both the Dict's I use does not reconise it as a word. Has anyone got a reference for this. ?

[Cruciformist]

"laxly" - XL in "lay" which is an archaic word for a body of law.
