Ok nice point +1 DGI

But no lemmas has another meaning, remember this is a clue not the answer...

A quiver could be a dangerous thing Why?

I asked my Brains Trust for any help and she (she is my daughter)said that quiver is a mathematical term that her teacher likes to joke with when they enter his classroom: " Oh I'm all a quiver with excitement at your arrival"

I've never heard of it but she says they write them up on blackboards.

So if you write a quiver wrong then it might prove dangerous in the long run like putting a decimal point in the wrong place for instance.

I've no idea what a lemma is and I'm itching to check my OED but I'm not going too.
Not a collective noun for Lemmings perhaps

Ex-Plane has be something to do with angles and such so if quiver IS a maths term then lemma may well be the result of a quiver going wrong or maybe it's the angle indicated by X...
or you get a lemma when your quiver is full of planes

Eyes are glazing over, time for

Me? I'm all of a quiver - and it's not the ague

Well Keith no points there

But one of your observations is very much on the right track Sooooo close

Hmm, linguistics, lemma, maths, but no trigonometry and an "explane". Looks different if you write it this way: Ex-plane.
I'm a bit puffy eyed here at 5 in the morn, I'll come back this evening after work.
Lemma, hmm vaguely Greek, explane, icarus

it was lemmastide when william tell had to shoot an apple off his sons head

The archer stood upon the burning bridge
His fear it made him shiver
He gave a cough
His leg fell off,
So he stuck it in his quiver.

Well nice poem but no


Why would a quiner be dangerous



Crossbow bolts are carried in a pouch not a quiver

blancmange quivers

Fresh out of ideas I'm afraid

Lemmas isn't a type of bread, is it? Not Lembas bread, which was the mana from heaven when the Jews escaped slavery in Egypt and wandered the desert, but is there another type of bread that has a similar religious story attached to it?

No idea what that has to do with a quiver though.

Lemmas is just ba hint and will not on its own give you the answer.


A Qiver in all it's forms will give you the correct answer

the OP was quiver

now its QIver

QI-ver?????

or is it a typo???

TYPO

"A Qiver in all it's forms will give you the correct answer"

Is this a deliberate misspelling or are you trying to give a hint? Either way, it went straight through to the keeper down here.

quiver it was getting late

Any more ideas

Err, no.
