Eggs are done, we hear (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ova

'eggs' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'done we hear' is the wordplay.
'done' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'over' sounds like 'OVA'.

'are' is the link.

(Other definitions for ova that I've seen before include "Latin egg-cells" , "Fertility clinic stock!" , "Potential life sources" , "Eggs; sounds like above" , "Female egg-cells" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
