    Really enjoying the 2-letter cryptics, thanks!

    I love it! Don’t fully understand 7A and 1D, but was able to guess it. Great cryptic!

      Thank you! For 7A, I was aiming for "pompously speaks" as "ORATES" and then dropping the head and the end. For 1D, it was supposed to be "O" (the first letter of "of") then "RAMA" (a Hindu god); then that all goes after "PAN" (a wild Greek god).
