Puzzled about 29d. Clue: Sex turning up in sensual festive occasion(8) Answer is 'carnival' i.e. 'carnal' for 'sensual' with (I think) VI (six) enclosed & 'turning up'. So is 'sex' a typo? Or am I missing something? Thanks for help.

Carnival - 'sex-' = "...combining form denoting 'six'...", (in) 'carnal' (sensual)
Sorry, 'VI' also 'up'...
