Lumen - use short form of Quebec + advanced (as in level of exams) + short form of 'natural'. Definition is last 2 words.
I've a full grid apart from 14 ac. I know it must have a clash in it but I'm stumped. Any help gratefully received!

Solved 14a now. (I seem to solve the clues shortly after I post a request for help - why does that always happen lol?)
Now to the endgame...

Got the Q one thanks.
14a is rare word, definition at end of clue as you'd expect.
Bewilder, followed by L for Latin.
Bewilder as in stop someone comprehending.

Glad we got you to Quebec, Lumen!


PS Shame you're just too late with the Latin one.

Delighted to say that it is all completed without needing to seek help from this Forum. It must have been the inspiration from BBC Wales re-broadcasting the 2005 Wales Ireland game on Saturday afternoon (I was there fifteen years ago!).

Having said that I am uncertain about the parsing of 6 across:
Imaging method made smart pamphlet after revolution (6)

Is bite taken to mean 'make smart' or am I missing something.

Many thanks Apt for a lovely puzzle - just about the right level of difficulty for me. Hope that all the regular contributors, and indeed occasional visitors, are well,

Yes - Chambers gives a defn for bite as 'to smart or cause to smart'...

Williamseal - made smart is, as you say, bite. Look at bite def 3 sub 5 for confirmation. It's the past participle - bit.

Thanks - all done

Still need 15a.
I have Houk?d so guess it includes my final clash?!
Can't see how pet fits.

Lumen, the u is incorrect. An abbreviation for a term of endearment + word for a fly. Def. is a synonym for 'smelled'
