I am stuck on the M's and one of the K's.

Food fit to eat on fast-days that is involved with many (6;6). I have m.n.a. (mannas?) and m.i e.

Dress material for a specific purpose left for spirit of a dead person, half constructed (4;4). I have kilt (?) and ka.a.

Help appreciated so I can go off and do something useful with the rest of the day.

Sorry should be m.i.r. and ka.a
M?N?A? - M?I?E?

much easier to read
So it's now:

Food fit to eat on fast-days that is involved with many (6;6).
M?N?A?. (mannas?) and M?R?E?

Dress material for a specific purpose left for spirit of a dead person, half constructed (4;4). I have kilt (?) and KA?A

M. Second word = Morsel?
Sorry, that's my fault for trying to set it out more clearly and then giving the wrong pattern!
Question Author
Sorry all - I am used to Crosswordpuzzlehelp.net, which uses dots for the spaces.
So what is the pattern for the second word as there are now three versions.
Question Author
M?I?R?

I have put

Maigre
Minyae
Question Author
Thank you Flonska. It means that mannas can't be right.
Question Author
Thank you Toorak. It means that the first M answer is hardly cryptic.
It is a double definition - maigre is a type of fish and food that can be eaten on a fast day
Question Author
Thanks again Toorak: that makes it a nice &littish clue.

I think the k word must be Kama.
That's what I put
I have minyas (many and is). Tricky. Minyae uses all the clue but is not so good for the the theme. I thought kala
