Thanks, BB. The problem is that they are both synonyms for that word.

Hi, Mattrom. I considered both but went with the person on the basis that the utensil is an obsolete spelling. But I agree either could work.

I can't find a synonym for the first word in the chain, which I think must go at 7d.

Thanks, Jono. The first seemed too general, so I liked the second. I agree, though, it is probably too obscure.

Luftmensch, 7d is clued. Did you mean 8d or 17a?

Forget that. I see what goes in 7d, can't find a location for the first synonym.

Luftmensch, 7d is clued. The first chain word is 17a.

Luftmensch
7D is clued. The synonym for the 2nd word (ie the one after 4D) in the chain is at 17A.

My fault. I had filled in 17a before I understood the steps, and then saw it was full so forgot that this was a guess!
