Prospero, “by” and separate “what might drag” from “queens say”.

prospero

I can't answer the other Qs but 28a - 'by' as in multiply

ilippu - yes

thanks jono and ilippu - my "yes" was the answer to your question.

Re 9 the answer is also a noun per Chambers in a specific legal sense.

prospero,
thanks.

7, add "lovers initially" back to the answer to get a sign or symbol often used in writing Portuguese. I think you need to read the Chambers entry to see what it signifies regarding Brazilian speech.

thanks buddy - all clear now!

Well, I have now viewed the source and can work out the conclusion. Amazingly, this has never been seen in New Zealand in the 30+ years that I have been here.

As always, many thanks to Jono for the grid - much appreciated:-)

My initial reaction when reading the conundrum was that it seemed ultra vague, but when I typed it into Google... hey presto! There it was:-)

The conundrum also enabled me to get the last letter of 24d which was really causing me problems, even though I knew the extra letter and definition.

Thanks to Claw for an enjoyable puzzle.
