37 D. Pairs dotted about Spain (5) ???ae

13 A. Forth bridge is perhaps supported by one leg, ending in tragedy (6) ???ony

NB. There are single-letter misprints in the definitions in some clues - I don't know if these two are affected. Thanks for any help.

Well, I think that the answer is ONIONY from ON 1 ON (the second 'on' referring to leg side) and Y from the end of tragedy, but I would be interested to hear how the definition works.

Thanks - 'oniony' was all I could see too. I have now - just this minute - worked it out.
The misprint is an 'i' - the 'bridge' in the clue should be 'bridie' (a bit like a Cornish pasty). And bridies ARE oniony!

I should have said 'thanks' for parsing the second half of the clue - so thanks!
