Can anybody help? These two are driving me mad!

1d - Duplicate lost in solid object. (5) -l---

10a - Disconnect without the German support. (8)
---e-p-n

1D Dolly the sheep.

10A Solidify the United Nations with the German staple

Many thanks John (from Arran) - I still don't get it though.

Gill,

John (from Arran) is giving you clever clues e.g.

Dolly the sheep was a CLONE the solid object being a CONE. That's how I read it.

Dolly the sheep was a ?l???
UN - word for "the" german - and a staple p?n

Thank you Colin (Swansea Jack) I can see that one, much obliged. Have you any idea what the other one could be?

May be UNDERPIN but AJT and John from Arran need to confirm that if they would be so kind.

Yes - underpin/ UN - united Nations. der - one of german words for "the" and pin - staple

Many thanks to all of you, I would never have got either of them on my own. Thanks again.

I thought 1d was a bit unfair as L is not a recognised abbreviation for LOST.

10a is UNPIN (disconnect) around DER (the, German) although John's alternative clue is better (apart from "solidify" as the definition).
