Thank you chelle7272 yet again and scorpiojo for the parsing of amort!

[mra1]

Thank you for that scorpiojo - so 13 down must end in ISM

[scorpiojo]

You've only given 9 letters for 13a

[chelle7272]

I count 10 but can only find patrialism which will fit the given letters

[scorpiojo]

I'm sorry, chelle..missed your Amort :(

[mra1]

that fits in chelle but definitely dont get the parsing - enlightenment please!!!

[chelle7272]

No worries scorpiojo, your parsing was clearer than mine would have been :)

mra sorry I wish I could! It was just what I could find - perhaps scorpiojo can help?

[scorpiojo]

..stumped :(

Are you certain of the other letters?

[mra1]

2nd letter comes from phlyctaenA - soft and hard sports fabric's ordered for back run producing small blister;4th letter from ajaR Briefly open like a door by an old privy 6th letter paraleipomenA (sign area on page after paragraph with flowery adornment for later editions

[Lie-in King]

May I? If the pattern was ?A?X?A?I?M then -

Marxianism - 'Xian' (Christian) + 'I' (in) 'Mars' (God) + 'm(ark)' (?)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Xian

^Etymology 2

[mra1]

Lie-in King you are superb as usual! Thank you very much for that

[Lie-in King]

Ah that works then, if -

Briefly open like a door by an old privy -

Ajax - 'aja(r)' + 'x' (by; multiplied) - an obscure word for a privy (Chambers)

[mra1]

I was never sure of AJAR as I did not get the parsing - so you have answered two questions instead one

[Lie-in King]

Sorry, away from screen - glad I could help :-)
