Hi

I’m having trouble with the interconnection of 36a and 39d

I was thinking a Biblical answer beginning with N for 36d but 39a seems to be a word beginning with s?

Am I on the wrong track?

Thanks

Should a letter or numeral be used in 8d and what does the first letter in 10d represent?

Re: 10D. Represents a homophone for the first three letters of the answer (though with a different first letter).

Porker-y.

Thanks, lexawkward, for your hint , but I’m afraid it’s not enough for this bear of very little brain. Maybe another hint, but not too explicit!
Thanks!

Son1ofrover1, probably a symbol for 8d, though there appear to be cariants. For 10d try saying the letter aloud.

Strictly speaking it's not possible to submit a correct solution since some symbols used by crossing answers are not exactly the same.

Dylan the symbol used in 36a seems to have three different meanings in the grid, if I am correct.

I have a full grid but can't make head nor tail of 28a, a nudge would ve very welcome.

Re my previous post, that should be 'variants'

planks,

For 28a, think horoscopes.

I've got a full grid, but can't make any sense of 35d ("Clamour on earth involves Luxembourg").

Planks, if you have a symbol in cell 28 from 25dn, you need to interpret it differently for 28ac.
