[endanger]

thank you both
K - it make my fish on sale: vendis

[kayakamina]

Glad to have helped and thanks for solving the 'fish' one.

[crofter]

Could 29d be RUFFED/ROUGHED? The wording seems the wrong way round for 7 letters!

[endanger]

I still need 29d: ?o????d
also
39d Start drilling with blunt needle ???d
33d see 11 (6) ?a???o? (the answer to 11 is Etonian - will that make the answer Harrow?)
38d Militiamen's outer expression (4) is it the inclusion Amen

thanks
E

38d Mien

[crofter]

... or MIEN!

[kayakamina]

Harrow looks right. Paired with Eton.

[endanger]

any idea on 29d K - then all I'm left with are my unclued lights!!

[kayakamina]

It's difficult without having the puzzle in front of you and also not knowing the theme. I am taken with Crofter's 'roughed'
(ruff -collar).
To recap; you have solved all the clued lights except for
29d Collared when disturbed we hear (7) ending D
39d Start drilling with blunt needle (4) end in D

That being the case I would have thought that you had more inlocking letters or are all the outstanding letters from the unsolved clues?

[bridgenut]

could the answer be Ruffled ?

[endanger]

I have a few interlocking letters.
So far for the unclued lights I have: Deutschland; Espana; Italia; Sverige and am still looking to complete:
???i??rra
?o?erland (Goterland, maybe)
?uon?
?or??
obviously they are all names of places in their own language, so any helped will be greatly appreciated. And yes 39d & 29d are the last 2 normal clues

[bridgenut]

the one with ?OR?? could be Norge

[endanger]

i think you are right bridgenut - that also gives the g for 29d - roughed

[endanger]

and also makes another place name as:
?h?i??rra

[kayakamina]

I think 39d may be Stud

[endanger]

thanks - if stud is right it makes the place name
?h?it?rra

as well as
?uon?
&
?o?erland

I'm taking a break now but Soumi (Finland) is a ?

The long one must end in Terra making it Spanish/ Latin.

Time for tea but good luck K
