Good morning all,
clue: Egyptian girl who dances round tree (4)
Pattern: ?m?a
I've pencilled in EMMA but don't have a clue why it should be the case.

ps Liking the new instruction manual at the top. That should save J de A blowing a gasket keeping the uninitiated in check.

The first is ALMA

Sorry - ALMA is the dancing girl - tree is AMLA

Hi AJT,
just got today's paper and the ans is AMLA so you were on the right line. I would be be grateful for an explanation as I can't square the ans with the clue.

Sorry - wasn't near the computer. I just happened to know the two words because thet're such old favourites of xword setters.
