22dn is the Italian word for "enough"

The word for "enough" is Spanish or Italian.
The other one des start with S - it uused to be characterised as a salt-producing area of a BIG country

Joe, 22d is an foreign word which means enough.

Jack - I would challenge 8d being deemed to be a common or household word - and the spelling seems curious to me - though I don't ahve a Chambers

Twm - the wordplay for 25ac is again not very precise; the "type of opera" is not complete. The qualification I took to be the second and third letters of the answer

I don't know enough about Opera to be confident about the operatic refference - I got the answer from "Region" then recognissed the Qualification (as you said, letters 2£3 in it), thenassumed that the surrounding word was an operatic term..

I apologise for the imperfect spellings there - there ought to have been a "reference", a "2&3" and a "recognised" in that- at least

Twm, no disagreements here, I'd say it's very American. The household bit I was referring to was the (delicious) spread.

A different kind of opera, Twm - think of the likes of Coronation Street.

Didn't really get the qualification bit of 25Ac - wasn't the opera bit opera seria?
