Turast, I didn't see that till you mentioned it. I went with the 'y'.

I, too, may be barking up the wrong tree, but aren't there a number of clued lights that could be "the antithesis of the unclued ones". E.g. 31dn, 33dn, 38ac?

Not 38 Across-because of its last letter. not 31 Down because of its second letter.

Oh yes. Silly me.

Trying to get back to normal after being away at my son's wedding so a Speccie was very welcome. Clever one, finished but don't understand 22ac, what does eat have to do with the following amerinds, can you say crowate?

According to Chambers, eat can mean upset (I suppose in the sense of "what's eating you"). I'd not come across the answer before (definition: be humiliated).

Can't get four clued ones:
7a Right conducy for afternoon indoors T??
32a Partition between flues & rear of house ?IT?E
39a Diplomatic kind of pig getting cross E?T?H?
8d 'Gong'encapsulates round instrument ????(3rd letter presumably O or T)
4of the unclued only partly solved:
15a ?ORS?
41a T?O?T?P?O??
19d ?O?S?O?O??
25d ?N??R?
Any assistance would be appreciated:just can't get any further.

Tao
Fitte
Eltchi
Oboe
Torso
Troutspoons
Zoosporous
Unform

To the very helping hand:many thanks---at least half of those I would never have found!Whew!

Fitte and unform are incorrect because they don't follow the pattern.
Peterm - thanks for that, didn't think to look up eat.
