Please help with this quiz!!?

My fiancee's Mum has a competition... there are twenty clues... we are told that 10 of them have LEG in the answer and 10 of them have ARM... I have put the clues and the number of letters below...

We have 20 answers though and we think we have 11 legs and 9 arms... I shan't put our answers here. But, please have a go... and see if you can put us out of our misery. We are hoping that it's the question master that has miscounted...

Item of Clothing. 7 letters

Violet or Ham. 5 letters

What some teams suffer in April or May (10)

Swan song (5)

Fairytale Prince (8)

Gum flavour (9)

Mucus (6)

Stylish (7)

Tell it like John Bunyan (8)

Primate's House (6)

Spread on toast (9)

A turncoat grouse (9)

Sending good news and bad (8)

Loyalty (10)

Does it bite on Last of the Summer Wine (4)

Spanish Fleet (6)

Agreeable musical instrument (9)

Place of learning (7)

Cannot be read (9)

Musically lively (7)

Thanks in advance!!! Enjoy!!

Update:

We do have 20 answers already... and I have tried Dictionary.com and the thesaurus to try and figure out which one might be wrong...

Looking at your answers so far, you mostly agree with the 20 we have...

Update 2:

I think it means the letters LEG and ARM lol... A Sweater does contain your arms but doesn't contain the letters... we thought this one was GARMENT... leggings has 8 letters...

Update 3:

This is what me and my fiancee got, but we are supposed to have 10 legs and 10 arms and we have 11 legs..

Item of Clothing. 7 letters GARMENT

Violet or Ham. 5 letters PARMA

What some teams suffer in April or May (10) RELEGATION

Swan song (5) ELEGY

Fairytale Prince (8) CHARMING

Gum flavour (9) SPEARMINT

Mucus (6) PHLEGM

Stylish (7) ELEGANT

Tell it like John Bunyan (8) ALLEGORY

Primate's House (6) ARMAGH - it's something to do with Protestants and Catholics...

Spread on toast (9) MARMALADE

A turncoat grouse (9) PTARMIGAN

Sending good news and bad (8) TELEGRAM

Loyalty (10) ALLEGIANCE

Does it bite on Last of the Summer Wine (4) CLEG

Spanish Fleet (6) ARMADA

Agreeable musical instrument (9) HARMONICA

Place of learning (7) COLLEGE

Cannot be read (9) ILLEGIBLE

Musically lively (7) ALLEGRO

So which LEG is wrong and should be an ARM? Or is it that the question master who set it us is wrong?

Update 4:

The ARMAGH one for Primate's House is because this is a Northern Ireland based quiz... Still doesn't solve the problem of too many legs though...

    I doubt the Quiz posers have miscounted.

    The 10 leg answers seem fairly clear - as in

    Legging ?

    RELEGATION

    ELEGY

    PHLEGM

    ELEGANT

    TELEGRAM

    ALLEGIANCE

    COLLEGE

    ILLEGIBLE

    ALLEGRO

    If you agree the somewhat doubtful "legging" - the arm answers would seem to include:

    PARMA

    CHARMING

    MARMALADE

    ARMADA

    HARMONICA

    which gives us 15 of the 20 - with 5 to find. Probably arm words - but I must confess to being baffled by John Bunyan - Summer wine - Gum flavour - turncoat/grouse and Primate (monkey/bishop) house.(5)

    Hope this helps - in some way.
