8. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, name a Japanese motor company.

The first Datson (Son of DAT) was released in 1931, but Nissan later changed the name to Datsun as 'son' also means 'loss' in Japanese.
9. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, who is the character in folklore responsible for lulling people to sleep?

Answer: Sandman

The Sandman appears in Folklore as the character responsible for lulling children to sleep by sprinkling sand or dust into their eyes. The grit or 'sleep' in their eyes the next morning is supposed to be due to this sand.

11. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what would King Richard give up for a horse?

13. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is another term for a sign or portent?
