    A few Thai-related facts! Siamese fighting fish is called ปลากัด 'pla kat' in Thai; ปลา means fish and กัด means to bite (i.e. to fight, figuratively). The United States subprime mortgage crisis was also dubbed specifically by Thai journalists as "Hamburger crisis", analogous to "Tom Yam Kung crisis".

      A word that describes itself is called autological word or autonym (e.g., "word" is a word, "English" is an English word). The grid spanner 39A39ALike 39A, alphabetically[---------------] has struck me with the above quality so I started from it and looked for other autonyms. 18A18ALike 18A, semantically[----------] and 60A60ALike 60A, syntactically[----------] are not only symmetrical but also concern linguistics duo: semantics and syntax respectively. Hope you like clues for 25A25AWindows screens?[------], 43A43AAnd Oscar goes to... one of their spelling alphabet![----], 12D12DGreek leader of Thales?[---] and 28D28DTerminator's look-a-like?[-----]!
