'aye' (more common) and 'ay' are English dialectical or archaic words that mean 'ever' or 'for ever'.
ReplyDeleteIt is also used in poetry, maybe ballads.
19 ACROSS:
ReplyDeleteFO = Field Officer(synonym)/ commissioned military officer(hypernym)
FO for field officer is not an accepted synonym in the Army
ReplyDeleteShuchi was right yesterday about NAVET, but I have no idea how ATSIGHT can mean 'It's okay to be hale and hearty!' which was the clue
ReplyDeleteSome interesting clues.
ReplyDeleteSince Indian names rarely appear, APSARA and DHARMA took a little more time.
10 - Nymph designs the spa for an artist (6) -
Is it {A}{PSA*}{RA} or {APS*}{A}{RA}?
Richard
FO - Flying Officer?
ReplyDeleteRichard
The word primarily appearing in the clue dictates taking an O only from officers as it has for the rest of the words, as such the clue itself is faulty
ReplyDeleteAgreed. A word beginning with 'f' appears to have been left out.
ReplyDeleteRichard
Re yesterday's clue 'It's okay to be hale and hearty!':
ReplyDeleteBesides the Col's point, I remember reading a rule on the usage of OK. It is used as OK only, but only when it is used as a verb, it will be 'okay'. e.g., 'Government Okays Power Project', 'Foreign Tour Plan Okayed'. Any opinions?

ReplyDeleteAgree that the clue itself is faulty, but maybe NJ intended "primarily officers" to imply "First Officers" as in the Navy (?) and hence "FO"?
My first post as I am learning from the masters posting here. Thank you for an excellent blog.

My apologies on the previous post .. First Officers is possibly an aviation / air force term rather than Navy.
ReplyDeleteVeer
I can't find any word 'atsight'.Unless it is at sight, though it is not indicated as two words. In any case I can't find any connection
ReplyDeleteLiked the Tweeter clue.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that continue to needle me are
=Cross out the cheque initially before the engineers in England (6) CANCEL
Is ANSEL a engineering firm or community in England?
OR does AN= before
= Short trip in quick succession (5) - WHIRL
Why quick succession? Was it intended as a DD?
@Veer,
ReplyDeletePrimarily has been used to indicate usage of the first letter
