Script of elite class? Not quite (6)
I believe the answer is:
brahmi
'script of elite' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'class? not quite' is the wordplay.
'class?' becomes 'Brahmin' (Brahmin is an example).
'not quite' means to remove the last letter.
'brahmin' with its last letter taken away is 'BRAHMI'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
