0 DudleyDude Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 contractions? This works with the labor clue and the opening/closing reference. Not sure how it would work with the "10" clue though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) ] In laborious duty Just ten will do to open to close together Both bring a new ] In laborious duty-- Applies to labor, birth-giving Just ten will do--Just ten centemeters are needed for baby to go through birth canal to open to close together -- These two lines apply to a baby being born into the world and a contraction in grammar and in writing such as "don't" or "isn't." Both bring a new--Labor brings forth a new baby, contractions in grammar bring forth a new word. thanx Dragon Edited July 10, 2009 by Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 DudleyDude Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Was wondering if you could explain how this fits into the riddle. I can't figure it out stretch of land or water -> tract (just the basic definition of the word "tract". Not a pro -> gave me "con" as in the opposite of pro. I put the two together to get contract and from there came up with contractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
