(U)P (wit)h i (one)

[JJ109]

PSi
Clasp = couple
ending clsp = sp
Up = Ps + I

[scorpiojo]

Couple = two letters

[JJ109]

Sorry - I think you need to toss a coin!

I put Phi in but was drumming my fingers afterwards. :))

[JJ109]

I can see your answer Jo, like I can see the other also. I'm glad I'm not doing that crossword - it is a poor clue when two alternatives can be correct.

[scorpiojo]

..waits for anax.... ;o)

[Lie-in King]

:-) - anax can't/wouldn't answer prize puzzle queries (especially his own), but I'm convinced there's no ambiguity, it's 'pHi'

[Neveracrossword]

I think Phi is far better!

[scorpiojo]

Just joking ;o))

[Lie-in King]

Knew that ;-)

[scorpiojo]

;o))
