Keeps talking in clipped phrases, strangely enough (5)
I believe the answer is:
harps
'clipped phrases strangely enough' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'keeps talking in' is the wordplay.
'keeps' becomes 'has' (I've seen this in another clue).
'talking' becomes 'rp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'has' placed around 'rp' is 'HARPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for harps that I've seen before include "Dwells" , "Musical instruments of sharp kind" .)
