Comments on the clue

1.	Good find of wordplay but instructions are very vague. "CORVUS" is not together in the fodder. Deletion instruction could have been clearer
2.	Just does not work, sorry
3.	Unreasonable to expect a solver to get this.
4.	Nice idea but unfair, we need an indication of what needs subtracting.
5.	You cannot have hidden words at random intervals.
6.	Impossible to solve
7.	I would be astonished if anyone managed to solve this one.
