Made a mess - if 37d is abyss then what is 48a - Little sibling, one backing international union - I have ?n?s?s-
any help welcome

Enosis. One backing. Sis.

Thanks - too quick with unison - more hast less speed

As per usual, having trouble with the parsing for a couple, help greatly appreciated....

46a. Revolutionary award the writer's received? Nonsense (5,3) - TOMMY ROT (Nonsense)

I thought 'The writer's' might be MY, but that's about it.

42d. Unit of length's name a small number concerned about (9) - NANOMETRE (Unit of length)

No matter how I parse this I always end up with the T unaccounted for.

Revolutionary - trot, award- mo, the writer's - my
name - N, a small number - concerned - met??, about - re.?

Thanks Trevor. For the second one, I considered MET for 'Concerned', but like you I gave it a ??

...i don't really get it, maybe on the wrong tack altogether.

42d I think you may find that the clue is "convened about" not "concerned about" MET=Convened

I hope that helps

Yes, cannieannie, thank you, having the corect wording for the clue helps enormously!

This makes Trev's parsing quite explicit.........

Nanometre =unit of length
N - name
a no - a small number
met - convened
re - about

Thanks again Trevor and apologies, I misread the clue (my x2 magnification specs. obviously need upgrading to x2.5!)
