Enigmatic Variations N0 1696: Airy By Chalicea
One of my favourite setters with a challenging but interesting offering for which I’ve got quite a few answers. However,she’s stumped me with the following for which I would appreciate help. Many thanks in advance!
( PREAMBLE: The word play to clues of four, seven, and eight-letter entries leads to an extra letter that is not required by the answer. In clue order these will guide solvers to an AIRY work whose seven word title appears in the grid in a foreign language. Solvers must change nine letters, producing new real words, to show an English translation of the title. The circled letters will give further help. )
