Granama1, I think the first A comes from "before" (ante) and "accepted" is just the inclusion indicator

Unfortunately my 4 seem to be 5! I have 29a, 4d, 9d, 22d and "split" seems to be redundant in 37d but one must be wrong - help!

Not mine either Granama1 but soon googled with the 4,9 start + a few more guessable letters

"Split" is part of the def in 37 Brendan, as I see it. A valley is loosely speaking a split in rock.

Thanks Loge, does that mean my other 4 are correct?

It does, Brendan.

I think anyone without ODQ is going to have a heck of a time finding the quote. I have a copy which includes quotes in the original language as well as the English (I believe later versions don't do this). I got there after much frustration by looking at the quotes including the general word for the four items removed from the clues.

Thanks again Loge.

This is so frustrating, I have the quotation and see what the 4 blocks are when treated, but just cannot associate any of it with the 4 unclued entries?

Thanks! a-googling I go....

You need to look up the four types of ****s in Spanish. Not the literal translations but the names the Spanish use. Then treat them according to the quotation to give real words in English.

Ahh! Many thanks Loge, you've been my saviour today - hope I haven't driven you mad:-)
