Snaro, I cant even decipher your post let alone help with the answers.
Can you not put each one on a separate line, give the number of letters and use '?' for missing letters please.

Tanx for answers clarification the """"" symbols are as printed in the clue as follows tittle tattle (5)(4) (""""small point"""") that's verbatim and I don't get it either!!
