Delete1 kkr. Just realised topped is tipped/capped
Delete28a tahini is served as dip or used as condiment.(wiki).
ReplyDelete16AC table=move forward [or proposals = tabled items]
ReplyDeleteI just took surface=table, delicate=light and moved forward.
DeleteBut you move forwad when you table the items ie remove an item from agenda. A ? Would have been better.
Delete22D: How is are = A?
ReplyDeleteAre is metric measure of area denoted a.
DeleteThanks!
Delete10AC Agree, Col. Discretionary deletion of just two Ss, not justified, I feel.
ReplyDeleteGiven the fodder, given the Enu couldn't setters take that leeway!
DeleteI don't agree with you on that Prasad
DeleteTheme: Grammar?
ReplyDeleteObject, sentence,subject, Perfect Tense,Article, phrases, word,mood
Perhaps Letter and Case as well
Deleteletter may also be added.
ReplyDeleteGretjob, Vasant and Paddy. I too initially thought about the theme. But later forgot about it totally.
DeleteOnly Vasant! I just added one letter.
Delete20 A : MOOD also needs to be highlighted as themed word, I think.
ReplyDeleteI notice Vasant had it included in his list too.
