I’ve finally found the last item, my cutting and sticking was correct and I have now done the colouring in as well. A very clever puzzle, again.

Finished the puzzle and I thought it was excellent. However, I cannot get the parsing for 42a or 11d. Can anyone help?

Casanova, think Laotian currency for 11d

And in 42a ( one of the 9 clues alluded to in the preamble), turn in the sense of go off

M=Mass, O=expression of protest (see BRB) and V=against.

My problem is that I can't sort out 6d. (h)aunt -h = aunt, but it just don't fit. What am I doing wrong? Inste4ad I have NA?N

Unfit, it’s N + (H)AUNT.

And is n, then take h off haunt.
I’ve done all the cutting and glueing and am ready to highlight. However, looking at the title, I am wondering if we are supposed to translate this into Spanish, which is still 18 letters.
Meursault, thanks for your last post, last week. Much appreciated.

Ta, Unclued. Had an errant bar after na?n. Had found NAUNT but still no penny dropping. Must be my age.

Xij, I think the 'translation' lies in converting the year to that of the Spanish event.
