I am doing a local crossword and am stuck on the last 2/3.

a) 7ac Of the shores (9) I have L???o?a?s
b) 8d Hindustani classical music (5) I have ??p?a
c) 3d Induce stupor (9) I have narcotise - a rather unusual word, not liked by Microsoft....

In a) the L comes from Levelling (Making Uniform); the O comes from narcotise; the A comes from Tibia (Leg Bone); the S comes from Dyer's Weed (Isatis tinctoria - normally Dyer's Woad, but can be Weed..)
In b) the P comes from Implicate (Involve) and the A I'm certain about.
In c)

The 9-letter words can be split as 1,8; 2,7; 3,6; 4/5 and vice versa. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Gangesboy and Mamyalynne thanks for your help.

Education was not wasted on you I can see.

I remember the word Littoral from Geography over 60 years ago; tappa I have not come across before.

Not seeing how it splits.

Spellbind ?

Depends on crossers as I say.
