Kirky: you've left out "cut" in the clue for 12D which is quite important!
10D lose a letter from the third word.

My problem is with the transmutation at 13D. There is only one name which fits, but the definition needed is not given in C, though it seems reasonable. Any alternative thoughts?

Hi Kirky,

12d - 3 letters for "cut" then two letters for "ends (of) losing water" + 3 letter "sap"

You guys are way ahead of me - on my first run through I solved fewer than half a dozen clues! Making some progress now, though:-)

Kirky, the first six letters will give a word, name, then a single letter. It's in the ODQ.
