Roman clues are norma . Italic clues each contain a definition and a hidden jumble of the light incorporating one surplus letter. These extras, in clue order, spell out a hyphened word suggesting the unclued lights (one hyphened, one plural) which form two quintets. Chambers gives all but three proper nouns.
