Poling a boat topless round back of Trinity? It needed this first (7)
I believe the answer is:
untying
This might be a double definition.
'poling' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a boat topless round back of trinity? it needed this first' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for untying that I've seen before include "Removing restrictions" , "Releasing fastenings" , "Loosening a knot" , "Undoing, unfastening" .)
