The following clues form a word chain. The last three letters of one word or phrase form the first three letters of the next word, and the list wraps round from the last word to the first. Mostly straightforward with the odd one needing the Stitchionary, but there may be one or two hyphenated words, alternative spellings or short phrases in there, and remember it was compiled by a Brit. Quite a few there, so feel free to grab two or three  -1. Metal or rubber eyelet grommet -2. Simplest of the acyclic saturated hydrocarbons methane -3. Based on hearsay anecdotal -4. Object thought to have magical or protective powers talisman -5. High-ranking Chinese official mandarin -6. Southern European butterfly of the genus Erebia, family Satyridae ringlet -7. Deadly lethal -8. Large Atlantic flatfish halibut-9. Architectural prop or support buttress -10. Author essayist -11. Strip of land bordered on both sides by water isthmus -12. Aquatic North American rodent muskrat -13. Toothed bar with which a pawl engages ratchet -14. Opinions or doctrines at variance with the official or orthodox position heterodoxy -15. Figure of speech producing a self-contradictory result oxymoron -16. Discoverer of x-rays Rontgen -17. Bend at the knee genuflect -18. Occurring in the wrong place ectopic -19. Trifling, of little account picayune -20. Dull unexciting -21. ____ Bergman, director Ingmar-22. Dried filled gourds, used as a percussion instruments maracas -23. Character from The Timid Soul cartoon series Casper Milquetoast -24. Plant with daisy-like flowers aster-25. Web-footed chelonian reptile ]terrapin -26. Cocktail pina colada ad astra -27. 2019 SF movie with Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones -28. Computer input device trackball -29. Brisk or rapid in tempo allegro

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Excellent, ladies and Remi!  I'll take the alternative spelling of "Röntgen" (if I can make life easier for myself, I will  )
