Quibbles, carps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cavils

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'quibbles' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carps' is the second definition.
('cavil' can be a synonym of 'carp')

(Other definitions for cavils that I've seen before include "Raises petty objections" , "Makes petty or unnecessary objections" , "Raises trivial objections" , "Quibbles, carps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
