22d....Tangle is involving Frenchwoman and Henry
IMMESH ? My dictionary doesn't like this spelling, INMESH is better, but doesn't fit into 25 across.

Immesh looks fine, by analogy with immerse. When the prefix in is added to words beginning with b, p or m it mutates to im.
...similarly, when added to words beginning with L it mutates to il, and for those beginning with R, ir.

Yes, I think you are right Jack...its shown as an alternative to inmesh, so MOMENTO for 25a must then be OK !

Thanks.
Curiously enough this does not happen when you prefix a word with 'un'. We say 'imbalance' but 'unbalanced'. The joys of the English language!

Jack...and I thought Welsh was the worst for its mutations ! Cymru, Gymru, etc.

You are right. Cymru can be written as Cymru, Gymru. Chymru or Nghymru, depending on what precedes it. There are strict rules, which are not followed by many native Welsh speakers in speech, but usually in writing. Once you master the art of initial consonant mutation Welsh is actually a very easy language to learn, with a very simplified structure.
