"Covert" means "implied", which is the total antonym of "implicit".

Pieanne, did you also make a flub here?-- Implied is an antonym of implicit?
Here's the corrected version of my earlier post ( which I've since deleted because it was so misleading due to the missing word):
In addition, Jeff-- implicit does not have a synonym in ambiguous. Something expressed indirectly is not the same as something expressed ambiguously. Directness/indirectness should not be equated to clarity/ambiguity.
To quote a well-known ambiguity in a direct expression: 'I saw the man on a hill with a telescope.' (Credit to a recent post by CJ.)
