Hi, everybody. Thanks very much for a really good response - if I've counted correctly we have (so far )twenty eight clue from sixteen setters. Voting starts at 1pm.
I was amazed at the quality and variety of clues for a short word. I particularly liked (in numerical order) jws @9, richardc @10 ,16 and 17, mattrom @20, fj @27, BBM2 @30 and rosalind @31.
