The last cell in row 2 is blank and it's counterpart in Col. 1.

Thanks.

Thanks ros and NAC. (Thanks Toorak for trying)

Lyam a new word for me.
Grid is filled.

Three parsing.
Word for Israeli politician? 6 letter answer starts IN.
Word for Serpent? The answer is 4,3 . Survive is def.
Child in Expel? First three letter are a record company.

Hankir, thanks - and sorry about the crazy typing!

2. I've, Serpent, setter, inside Lout, tough.

[ProfessorMaisie]

'Draw' is the def - 'robust' = the last 4 letters of the answer (the first 2 are from israelI + politiciaN).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...the child is 'mite' + move the lat letter.

[ProfessorMaisie]

sorry, the last letter of 'mitE'

[hankir]

Thank you NAC and ProfessorMaisie.

Shape of 1a looks similar to last across.
A Butterfly?
But may take more than 27 cells.

Will wait for the solution.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Don't look for a shape, hankir - letters 'satisfying the conditions required' are symmetrical (like V Y H)and they are symmetrically lined up vertically (look at the title of the puzzle).

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.

I see 18 letters right away. To find 9 now.
