Ungrammatical description of key passage
??s?e
The first letter of the second answer will be the first letter of the 1st answer.

strand (stand + R)

aisle?

oops
if Strand is correct then 2nd answer is s?s?e

Definitely Strand and aisle! Don't think there's another a?s?e, and it does mean passage. No idea about ungrammatical, though

sasse?
"Sasse: A sluice or lock, as in a river, to make it more navigable."
lock key key quay.
ungrammatical??

maybe Strand is wrong.

Strand and aisle are correct. The "a" in strand is the start of aisle.

Aisle is ungrammatical as it sounds lie "I'LL". which is ungrammatical.

I think I agree with Aisle as a key is an isle (florida keys)and an aisle is a passage so that's where the ungrammatical bit comes in. Am I right?

fraid not jimbo. the ungrammatical bit is that you should say an isle not a isle.
some mention about both clues not starting with same letter after all would have been nice.

eac2337, I'm not sure I follow your reasoning re "I'll"
I think I prefer my reasoning re aisle sounds like isle, and a key is an isle, but thanks for you reply.
