Hi Thom. Difficult to give a clue as to the lie but I can tell you the answer is a German word. Hopefully that helps

I suppose "ich bin ein Berliner" might be a good clue

Got it! Or at least got what it has to be. Thanks all

18d: the wordplay is an Italian musical word for 'or' without its last letter

Is the question 5,1,3,1,6,3,2,4,4?

Never mind, I see my error in 1d
