Crossword Genius

Henry’s coming in kinda lacking (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

short of

'lacking' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'henry's coming in kinda' is the wordplay.
'henry' becomes 'H' (symbol for the unit of electrical inductance).
'coming in' is an insertion indicator.
'kinda' becomes 'sort-of' (synonyms).
'h' put within 'sortof' is 'SHORT OF'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
