Just 2 x irritating clues where I can't do the parsing :- 4Dn I see teacher returning greeting by male teacher of distinction (9) M?H?R?S?I. Well it has to be MAHARISHI but, whilst I get RIS (teacher returning) and HI (greeting), I cannot see how/why MAHAR = I see. If the M = male in the clue, then I can't see why/how AHAR = I see.

13Dn Probably dressing like head of Armani in extravagant fashion (10) ?R?D?G?L?Y. Okay, so it's PRODIGALLY (in extravagant fashion), but I can't see the parsing.

Aha is I see - the r is in sir reversed

Prolly = probably
Dig = like
A(rmani)
Maharishi - 'm(ale)' + 'aha (I see) sir (back) hi'

Prodigally - 'probably' (probably, dressing; round) 'dig (like) A(rmani; head)'
