            | Like a lion's neck |  |  | 
          
            | Like Esau. |  |  | 
          
            | Word in an O'Neill title |  |  | 
          
            | Rugged |  |  | 
          
            | Well fuzzed. |  |  | 
          
            | Hirsute. |  |  | 
          
            | Like the Beatles. |  |  | 
          
            | Like O'Neill's ape. |  |  | 
          
            | Descriptive of grim Cerberus. |  |  |
