KNOT (Swelling)

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorMaisie.

I got Elan and Knot. But Qin eluded me.

The two words at 6a and 30a have the same 4 middle letters.
Have not figured them out yet.
What is the first letter of 6a? F?

Also the last word of misprints in not shading any light yet.

[hankir]

I think it my be a play that the last word indicates.
I have first letter of 6a but not 30a.

[ProfessorMaisie]

The first letter at 6a will blow the endgame, hankir (it's from the 2nd half of the alphabet, as is the different one that starts 39ac) but I'm happy to reveal it if you're sure.

Last word of misprints is 7 letters (starts with 13d).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry, we crossed - do you mean 36 (30 starts C)?

[hankir]

I meant 39a. What does it start with?
I thought 6a started with F.
This is how I am interpreting the last word from misprints:
Nato alphabet.
Play in which 6a appears.

[ProfessorMaisie]

now I'm doing it!! 39!

[ProfessorMaisie]

No, it's a famous opera, you need some characters from it.
The first message leads to another one.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...and the three words from the misprints tell you were to look for that message.

[hankir]

I am way of.

The misprints seem to direct me to 11a.

The clashes may refer to VR .

I am confused at this point.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Look at the ?(first 5 corrections to misprints) letters in the clues in order.
11a is a straight clue/answer (no relevance to the opera).

[ProfessorMaisie]

I think I know what you mean by VR but you're looking for a different regent - 'the ????? of the ?????'

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorMaisie.

I think the Opera may be 5,5,an instrument.

Also the two characters start with T and P. T goes at 5a and P at 39a?

[hankir]

I meant 6a (T) and 39a (P).

[ProfessorMaisie]

That's it, hankir (but you did it again - 6a!).

[ProfessorMaisie]

...I'm so slow!

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
