11A Small sum (4) ?E?N

MEAN?

13A Bird bit another one (4) ?E?N

TERN?

11a bean

13a bit tern

11a. perhaps mean - (used of sums of money) so small in amount as to deserve contempt
17d. Holy books or song (6) ?r?r??

17d or aria?

11a not a bean (little or nothing at all)

Stevie - thought of Oraria but can’t connect it with holy books

17d Neither can I but 24a is yarfa so 17d is ?r?r?a

17d orarium is "book of private devotions" so presumably oraria is the plural.

Thanks Stevie

Sorry not to have acknowledged earlier

Puzzled today by my last two clues/ answers.
1ac (5) Time in 2 I have tempo as answer
1d (6) Pressure. I have Thrust as answer
Not convinced on my reasoning/ parsing on these, any thoughts? Unless of course my answers elsewhere are wrong
