I published this earlier and it was given two answers and I am unsure which is the correct one so be grateful for any help,

No disrespect to the two people who answered this before but I am a little confused.
Many thanks in advance

tiny particle = QUAR(k) - 'tiny' is being used in the same way 'short' is used in cryptics to indicate that the last letters should be removed

a second = A S

QU a s AR

tiny particle mostly = QUAR(k) - none of my nonsense about 'tiny' is needed
