Last one, and stuck on the unclued 50D.

I have "adult" for 49A, "bear" for 59A and "tenant" for 65A.

This gives "U?BA?" for 50d. Both "unbar" and "urban" are possible to give "buran" as the wind. Which one?
I hope I've done something wrong!

Thanks

I entered URBAN being an anagram of BURAN ( wind in the theme).

You've now put a seed of doubt in my mind with Unbar but I've posted my entry off.

I have 'Urban' too for no particular reason than it's more common than 'Unbar' - I think either answer can be legitimate (unless we're missing something) in which case it's not the only flaw of the puzzle (the other being 105 dn).

Thanks to both of you for confirming that both are possible - I've been staring at it for a week - fortunately long enough to see the SPARE/SHARE addendum! I prefer "URBAN' too...
