Parts of newspaper in Welsh decoded after time (8)
I believe the answer is:
twelfths
'parts' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both relationships as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'newspaper in welsh decoded after time' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'ft' (**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'decoded' indicates an anagram.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'time' becomes 't'.
'welsh' with letters rearranged gives 'welhs'.
'ft' put inside 'welhs' is 'welfths'.
'welfths' after 't' is 'TWELFTHS'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for twelfths that I've seen before include "Particular fractions" , "In small portions" .)
