Many thanks in advance.
P.S. I am told answer to 16a is "hasty" but can anyone explain as I can't see how it relates to the clue "Speedy bears oriental heard"

Question Author
Thanks very much. (You're right about it being a weird clue!)
16a)

Bears = has(t) (eg bears a grudge ie 'has' a grudge)

Oriental = Eastern = E

hasty (the letter 'y' sounding like 'e')
Question Author
thanks athenae. I get it now.

Athenae, there has to be a reason for "heard". I think "oriental heard" may be ty for Thi.
Aquagility -

I don't. think so ...

the end of the word 'hasty' is pronounced 'e'.

the end of the word thai' is pronounced 'i'

perhaps, kayakamina can give guidance?
