For 8 I have A?SIR and can find nothing to fit.
Same with 30 where I can find no match for MOY?

8dn - ES ('s') in AIR ('e.g. Greensleeves') = AESIR (plural of AS, see AS[2] in Chambers)

30dn - O ('none' ) in MYA (mollusc genus) = MOYA (volcanic mud)

I should add that I can find no reference to MOYA in OneLook , Chambers or Google.

It's in my 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th (non-revised) and iPad editions.

It isn't in the online 'Chambers Dictionary', that being not the Big Red Book but the Chambers 21st Century Dictionary, which they made available at no cost for a reason...
