Two end letters, then add a letter to the penultimate word and drop the first letter/'cap' from its 7 letter synonym (generic).

Thanks, drxx, got that now.
(It doesn't fit...hmm I wasn't expecting that one to have to change!)

It does fit, lumen (without any adjustment).

Now got a nearly full grid with some problems. Does the family group clue have an extra letter? Because in my BRB it should have but doesn't seem to.

It would be good to have the number of empty cells confirmed. I am 99% confident that it is ... where 71 comes in the list of primes. (Don't count if you don't want to know!)

Yes, the Latin word (in the wordplay) is too long.

Yours, gitto (the other one involves a nasty business I tend to avoid}.
