Good afternoon everyone. Today I am stuck in the north west corner. Not literally. Or perhaps literally. There may be a misprint in the definition. 14a: capture American lord (7). I have ?A?LA?? Help please

Jogamel, that's one of the modified entries. I don't know how far you've got with the thematic stuff, so haven't said too much... just yet.

Hi jogamel,
14a is thematic, no misprint

That helps a lot. Thank you. I’ve not cracked the theme yet but have almost filled the grid, with some ideas. 5d would help please. ‘Be familiar with majority of county.’ I have SU??EN (6)

Thanks, Jogamel. That's another modified entry. The clue answer is short, only three letters.

Thanks again, Jogamel.

And thanks, too, Muraria., you gave a little more information. You mentioned the 'no misprints', I didn't include that, but only because the preamble said ' .... in thirteen other clues' - but that little bit could have been overlooked.
