I've settled on Monad. According to Chambers an ultimate unit of being, a spirit a God.
It must be Mona (girl) + D but i spent ages thinking it was Man (isle). Still not completely convinced.

I think the explanation is .....

MONA is an island in the Caribbean (Puerto Rica / Dominican Republic are)

so Mona (for the island) + d (for daughter) gives you Monad ... which as you say is God (in Gnosticism, God is known as the Monad ... ie the �one� �single� �nique� from the Greek word μονάς

Thanks Pandabear.I suppose 'girl' could have been superfluous to the clue which would still have worked ' Island daughter of God'

How were you able to type the Greek word ? I have enough trouble with the basic alphabet on the keyboard. K
Nearer home, Mona is the Latin name for Anglesey.

The character map (in windows accessories) has greek letters (and all sorts of other things as well) that you can copy/paste into documents.
hi kayakamina -

I do not think that 'girl' is superfluous ....

MONA = girl's name AND name of island, probably a reference to Anglesea rather than my 'island in the sun' = 'island girl'

d' 'for daughter

= monad

and that greek word - dzug is right about the character map (so long as you have window's accessories) ----

I copied and pasted from a dictionary reference to monad!
