I think that the A/Ar quibbles are rather unnecessary. The ‘former’ can easily apply to the rest of the clue if you are that fussy.

I don’t think A for argon is acceptable without an indication that it’s obsolete. It’s a very long time since it was in common usage. The ‘former’ earlier in the clue doesn’t seem to cover it.

Re 2d C. lists A as former abbr. for argon. Re 23d I had girt (rev) in S.A. I was hoping for some explanation of the surface of 27a, i.e. what would the French phrase mean with Erte inserted?

I wondered about A=Argon: Chambers gives it, with the note “now Ar”, so the clue should really have had a “once” or something in it.

23dn is GIRT< in SA.
