Hawser seems to be more common in use, but I cannot see anything in the clue to indicate which word would be used.

Yes jazzgilrl and the third letter does not intercept any other answers. Still unsure about Fife or Fief!!!!!!!

I have just checked Chambers and there is no mention of fife being a kingdom, (only fief is shown in my edition)
