Good morning, I think I’ve got the 6 thematic elements, but am left with some niggling clues for which I would appreciate your answers, thanks in advance!

26 ( A ) Elevated river drowns native (8) :?I?B?R?? ( AIRBORNE )
27 ( A ) United agreed changes, first of all to money (6) : M?R?C?
2 8 ( A ) Couples went after opening booze (8) : ?N?W?E?S
17 ( D ) What former setter will do in film about Cher (8) : ?L?E???S ( CLUELESS )

The clues to six thematic answers lack a definition. Symbolically, they could represent one of the other answers. What is it?

Clueless is obviously right to me.... what's your doubt?
airborne is ok - river Aire & born
Airborne looks fine to. Not sure if special instructions but is it anag of aborigine minus g
OK davebros is the right reason not mine
are you sure about the letters you have in 27 & 28?
Murage
- A tax or toll paid for building or repairing the walls of a fortified town.
snowless is the only word that fits 28 with the given letters
28 ENTWINES
27 MERGED
...anag of '[a]greed' with 'm(oney)' for [a].
27.Merged - anagram of agreed with 'a' changed to 'm'.
ent wines is perfect... maybe another answer were wrong or you just mis-typed the pattern
Question Author
Many thanks, all! Completed and just a confirmation for the following:

19 ( D ) Leave celibacy, spending money (7) : A?S?N?E
( ABSENCE = def for LEAVE ? )

4 Delivered with nothing in (5): B?R?N
( BORON- one of the thematics? )

And this one is eluding me: "Symbolically, they could represent one of the other answers."

yes abs(TIN)ence
abs(tin)ence
Boron seems perfect to me.. BORN with O in
Abs (tin - money) ence
o(nothing) inside born(delivered)
elements? periodic table?
Atomic numbers?
