to part is leave

Thanks all! So now for the Lounge lizard clue I have

- P - A - L

It must be SPRAWL = Lounge

Surely you mean Cleave?
only joking - what sweet sorrow. thanks for that.

L Warps - backwards - (twisted 180 degrees)

we should cleave together and assume that to leave is part.

Yes, we've got all the parts now, including the part = to leave.

Haha, I saw that quiz about the two opposite meanings of cleave.

I've finished the crossword now. Well, I can't really say I've
finished it, after all that help! Many thanks, all. It's past my bedtime. 'Night, all.

PS: thanks for WARPS, trevor. You're right.

I've just finished another Times crossword but the last clue is bugging me.

Fruit I withheld from liar brought to book (6)

- N - N - S

I have ANANAS but is it right?

It's a fruit but I just can't see the rest of the clue. I withheld from LIAR suggests to me LAR but what then? Brought to book could indicate letter B, I suppose. Is there some play around the word BANANAS? Or...?

Ananias was a biblical character who was struck dead for lying, and ananas is another word for pineapple.

Thanks. I had completely forgotten the biblical character, if indeed I ever knew it. Pineapple is just one species of ANANAS.
