Last couple of 'normal' clues have me stumped:

5dn Liquid secreted in lazar-house(7) SP?TT??(Spittle? Why?)
31dn My camp's up in field(5) RE?L?(Realm? Again, why?)

Neither answer will help with the unclued lights which I can't make sense of either. I'd prefer a clue to what the connection is before resorting to total submission.

Many thanks.

M' = My
Laer = Camp
Realm = Field
5dn Spittal is another name for lazar-house (Chambers)
31d Have pencilled in realm, but not sure about this one.

The name of the crossword suggests an anagram of the(five-lettered) clued light you are looking for .
Also consider the likely length of the anagrammed word in order that it produces so many (at least 10), and the sort of letters it contains, ie the common ones.

Sorry....that should be spittle.

Thank you all for your helpful replies - but not quite helpful enough for this dimwit on his return from a hard day at the office.

Four of the unclued lights have(?!) to be diviner, after, symbol and analyse but I'm blowed if I can make the connection. Another little clue before I admit defeat and ask outright!

Thanks.

Your 4 unclued lights are correct. Think of the French word for one of them, and you will have the anagram. There are actually 13 possible anagrams of this word ! Cruciverbalist
