I live in the North, and I've not heard it, tanglewood.

Does the 12th edition give it as meaning 3? My one has meaning 1 all about the light, and meaning 2
"Scot vi to run wild, to scamper, to go jauntily, stride along; to walk with long heavy steps"

...and that's it!

Thanks ceva. I totally misinterpreted the "hollow" - I thought it meant "take the middle out of words". I've been doing too many crosswords!

Meaning 3 - verb, to punch or thump (compare 'lam', first meaning').

Your second e is incorrect.

The for the solution you need another word for monarch inside another word for piece. It is very topical.

I've no meaning three either for 24ac,but my Chambers is very old - a revised edition with supplement, latest impression 1968. Despite its dilapidated state I like to keep it as it was a birthday present from my mother in 1969 when I was 20.
Despite the absence of a 3rd meaning, I vaguely recalled the strike meaning.
Thanks for help with 22d. This leaves me with only 20 ac -Flagship bearing right? I have ?t?e?m?r. I can only see one answer, but can't see why it means Flagship (for which there is no definition in my Chambers). Any suggestions?
