Yes!

Yielding. (I can't think of a sensible question.)

35) Is the physical tension of animal hide an important aspect of at least one of its normal uses?

No.
I could have said yes, but I think that you mean 'when it is being used'.

36) Is it something that is usually worn by humans when it is being used and/or is performing whatever role or function it has? (Note that question 9 only ruled it out as clothing, but there are other reasons to wear things.)

You have a malformed assumption. It is neither carried around (such as a wallet or purse) nor worn. (This is a freebie, cause y'all still are only part way there.)

What was the assumption?

Brian-E · 2010-11-24, 22:17

The "malformed assumption" comment implies, I suppose, that what we are trying to find is not used and has no role or function. Strange for something that is man-made!

And was this posting some kind of clue?

I think *crickets* just means nothing much happening; just the sound of crickets.

Ahh, the type of crickets that go BUMP in the night you mean?
Thanks for the translation.
