Shrieking girl turned money into silver (9)
I believe the answer is:
ululating
'shrieking' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'girl turned money into silver' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'girl' could be 'lula' and 'lula' is found within the answer.
'money' could be 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money) and 'tin' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ug' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
