Thanks, Feebee, this helps with some of them. Problem I have with 48 Down is that I have already used the first two letters (also at the start) of 29 Down .Your query about 63 Down produces a homophone for a word that sounds like a word for poison. And, with regard to 76 Across, your fifth letter "N" is wrong and should be an "I".

I think the German word is 37a

19a I have a word for a Muslim festival but I can’t see how that relates to Passover?

In 48d the pair is the 2nd and 3rd letter.

Yes, I HAVE put the German word in already at 37 Across, as you said. So. I got to thinking "ELF" for 19 Across, which is German for "eleven". So, the Passover word remains elusive, though you think you now have this?

Looking again I see my mistake. 50 down is a non-thematic clue which just happens to include a well-sited thematic abbreviation. However if 78 is a double definition and refers to a party down under I cannot find this in Chambers. Any thoughts?

Hello Williamseal - I put this answer in some time ago, but decided to look for this Australian party, and looking at the Australian Slang Dictionary, I can't find this either. More head scratching!

It is in Collins, as "Australian informal", but I'm in Au and it's not familiar to me.

Something you find in both? On wards and round lawns?
