The Crossword Clue Challenge

Self-explanatory really, a spin-off from the verbosity challenge. Here's one to get it started ...

Well here goes.

. . N . .

glad this came to a screaming halt ...

Here's my crossword clue

H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O (5)

No clues I'm afraid and yes, it's cryptic.

Or, a slightly easier one

Amundsen's forwarding address (4)

(also cryptic)

I can only think of pole for the last one. The other one has me thinking at the moment. We still have Johns to solve too.


Margaret

I was thinking pole too Margaret, and I'm completely stumped by CT64's alphabetic one. Perhaps he will give us a hint if we ask nicely.... ?

Here's another letter for mine:

Fast, love, or slow? (5)

L . N . .

CT's Letters;

Water (H to O)

John's

Lanes

Probably "Fast, lovers or slow" as a clue would have been too easy

Some other name for a short lived particle. (5)

Leo's cultivated fruit (4)

No, Mike, it's not "lanes". As a further hint, there is a musical connection.

H2O was briliant. I would never have got that.

Ah H20, not sure I would have got that, well done Mike.

I keep thinking lento John, but not sure it fits.

Is Leo's cultivated fruit sloe?
