Re: Quiz, June 17th


"cleave to sth phrasal verb LITERARY
1 to stick or hold firmly onto something:
The ancient ivy cleaved to the ruined castle walls.

2 to continue to believe firmly in something:
People in the remote mountain villages still cleave to their old traditions."

Really, Yola; how odd. One cleaves to one's lover; to cling, to be attached.

Re: Quiz, June 17th


I think Sardines are young Pilchards (or is that the other way around . . . )
