Not sure, but will run with the crossers that supplies and see what eventuates.

elements

"Ne argon" - Ne is neon

[bibblebub]

sorry that's 8 letters but surely that must be the wordplay...

[1ozzy]

Thanks Bibblebub, I'll try the crossers and report back.

I'm not going to supply the crossing clues, don't want to make it too easy for myself, (or others)...;-)

Thanks for the suggestions.

[bibblebub]

maybe just the singular element

(sorry for dragging this out)

[1ozzy]

Think I might sleep on this one.
See what a fresh mind comes up with.

Thanks for all suggestions.

Element may mean 'any' as in "there isn't an element of truth in your theory" and Argon (sounds like 'are gone') is an element.
