Good afternoon, Yasser,
26ac. is an obsolete word for "thanks" - it has links to the Old French for "great thanks".
Hoping this helps!

You're welcome, Yasser.
You're on the right lines with 14d. - it's an anagram of "zoo tram's", giving a musical term meaning "gradually fading away". (Like many musical terms, it ends in "-ato"!
