DeleteSathia
Yes, we have a colourful Women's Day thanks to PG team.
Delete26A: pennant is streamer.
ReplyDeleteShip is steamer holding R becomes pennant and not pendant which refers to an ornament.
Sathia
I agree. But I understand pendant is an obsolete spelling for pennant. Where does R come From?
DeleteIt's an error in clueing
DeleteThanks Colji.
DeleteSathia
The streamer rope with the weight attached is still called pendant in nautical terms.
DeleteModel for R is still.
20D- Is it okay to have 'for' between off and new for removal of N (ew)
ReplyDeleteClue seems to read ok without it.
Its not direct removal of N.
DeleteTearing-off is the deletion indicator for pages (pp).
Clue is read as
DEF (if you) delete pp for N (then it is) coalition.
21a- Nascent- Typically Arden.
ReplyDeleteSunrise- Sun/ rise!!
Easy today by Arden standards. With some great clues. STREAMER seems to be an error.
ReplyDelete@Prasad - 3dn WARCRIME + AN leading to CRIMEAN WAR is kosher? Definitely not elegant.
My fav - ARM TWISTING, VENDETTA, RED FACED, DEPLETE.
Thanx Arden!
Happy Women's day to Lakshmi, Mona, AJ, Sowmya and the other handfull of women here!
