Well, I've never played Cryptic Clues, so I'm probably going in totally the wrong direction, but perhaps something I say will spark the imagination of a more knowledgeable 'Downer.

If it is something a'cross' from the "south", then it ought to have to do with the "north", in which case we need to find a 'Downer who's associated with the north...

Or else, it maybe some sort of southern cross-breed. Hmm. Yes, that seems a bit more likely...

So, the question is, do we have any australian hybrids lurking around the forum???

- Not looking for a reply from Mr. S P Man, just throwing out ideas for dead-ended BDers.

Continuing along Formendacil's line of thought...

None of the above.

It may be worth looking at the cryptic clue examples on the Cryptic Clue thread ...

I am! It's not helping! As LePetitChoux said on that same thread - this is what frustration feels like! I don't suppose it's Bethberry, for her Personal Title....? Ah well, worth a try...

Ok...

I am said to be a southern cross.
So I'm sitting here like an idiot staring at the members list and randomly trying to make names sound like 'southern cross', with some interesting results in trying to fit the whole phrase into about one syllable. Not having much more success with the anagram line either... I would guess it is a sound-alike, being as it is 'I am said to be', but I could be entirely wrong; besides, I can't think of anything that a 'southern cross' could possibly be. Giving off light = glowing = Gloin. Southern cross = ?!

I'm nowhere near, am I?

I would agree with Perky, that cryptic clues belong, indeed, in Cryptic Clues. However, I am intrigued - and also now really rather frustrated!

And the word 'said' is important, right?

Elwe Singollo? Singollo means "of the Sindar" I think. And Elwe could be a Filipino word for "mango," couldn't it? Maybe? Please?
