11a Madagascan rhino adult heading off from shrub, old thorn (6) ARIA?Y
I've looked up all my dictionaries and thought about "rhino" being money and "thorn" being TH but no joy. How is it possible to get 5 out of 6 letters and still not find the answer? I've cross-checked all the down clues and they seem pretty good. Help, please!

11a Ariary----------madagascan monetary unit

[chelle7272]

ariary is madagascan currency, can't quite get that from the clue though as yet, hope it helps

[novalis]

ariary - unit of currency ( rhino ) of Madagascar )

Thanks people. It seems I was on the right lines with RHINO = Money but I couldn't find ariary in my dictionaries

This is one of those times when Chamber's Word Wizard is no help.

One Look however does give the solution, using the same combination of letters and the ? wildcard character. You can use the 'Customize' tab to specify crossword settings.
