      23a anno!
      Also 11a can be fine tuned.

      13a (to setter) fed up with as insertion indicator is not convincing here.

    3. Mukundala Balasubramanyam17 July 2022 at 12:04

      23a Anno read as (REP<<)(RESENT)

    4. AJ17 July 2022 at 12:05

      @MB
      I had parsed 23a differently
      Indicate is represent
      Every is per, counter is REP
      Grudge is RESENT
      REP RESENT
