“Azed certainly makes full use of the all the possible definitions of words as he composes his clues”
He certainly does.It took me several years of solving Azed before I learned to always start looking for the required definition at the end of a long list of alternatives.

The sense of “lap” comes from the similarity of the shape formed by the lap of a seated skirted person, and it has been further extended to mean lap in a figurative sense, eg “the lap of the church”. All this in French: http://francois.gannaz.free.fr/Littre/xmlittre.php?requete=giron&submit=Rechercher
