12. The usual small word for 'turn' and an equally small word for 'aside' (though I wasn't familiar with the usage).

38 Just a 'hidden' answer....The definition's at the end.

Scarlett, glad I could help. I worked backwards for some of my answers as I'd twigged the thematic stuff fairly quickly.

If only, if only .... Malone would give us a pointer towards the modifications needed here. Completing the puzzle via down lights only is very laborious and unsatisfying ....
