chapped (capped+h)

Chapped - cracked. I took it as 'capped' with 'h' hot.
I couldn't work out the reasoning for 'relative'.

thanks andyc and Malone.
Would be interested if anyone can explain "relative"

Can you give the clue for 'relative' again? I think you've got a misprint/typo. Thanks.

I've worked out 'relative' now -
it's 'rive' for split
and 'tale'(backwards) for lie.

Good one Malone.

thanks Malone. Clever !
