I had fun doing this but cannot see two of the answers completely. 11D is clued:- "Like the relationship between Dan and Benjamin." I can only
see "INTERTRIBAL" as the answer. I imagine it has something to do with Dan Benjamin, the entrepreneur, but I cannot see why.
The other slight mystery relates to 16A which is clued:- "Burden notedly subject to variation." The answer should be "THEME" but I cannot link up the word "burden" with the answer.

Burden can mean the main theme of something.

Many thanks AB! I should have been aware of the biblical connotation but, in that instance, I was trying to think of books of the bible, such as Daniel. The "burden" connection for "theme" is a new one on me, so I'm always grateful to learn something new. Thanks again and Happy New Year to you and all crossword solvers everywhere!
