Need help.

There MAY be a misprint in definition.

31a. Wanting to have temperature nearly touching mid-forties for half of February? Possibly (9)

3d. Greek's base son not adopted by old African (7)

23d. Former theatrical buffoon belonging to international union for actors skipping introduction to employer (8)

Thanks.

Hi sunray,
31. Fortnight, for + t + nigh +
for)t(ies
3. Rhod(es)ian
23. Iniquity, in I(nternational) (e)quity.

Any letters at all yet?

23 A strange word for a 'former theatrical buffoon' - but just concentrate on 'belonging to international union for actors...'

31. How many days in February? Then half of that...

3. Still trying to come up with a hint...

Sunray, I wasn't being unhelpful - honest! I prefer giving hints to start with.

Fortnight
Rhodian
Inequity

No misprints but there are clashes in first 2

Oops, didn't realise hints.

Ginge, it's fine- the OP didn't specifically ask for hints, I erred on the safe side!

Thank you all.
Next time I will be specific and ask for hints.

28a Tape Indian court official preferring English to Irish (4) I have NA?E

could be naze ( a cape) Tape misprint >>>Cape

nazi > naze but where is the Indian Court official?

Also missing the 2nd T of the misprints (2d has one but am missing the other.... not that it affcets the grid...)

Nazir - Indian court official, but I don't see how shortening it (the word) is indicated.
