@Stiv HALOUM?
 
explain?
 
ALM+HOP+U (Greek omega) -P (not confident how)
Omega is the letter used for rotating stuff in physics
 
1:58 AM
More explicitly: Gift given (ALM) by revolutionary Greek character (+U = ALUM) during short flight (flight=hop, shortened to HO, ALUM during HO = HALOUM) from Egypt (the straight)?
I'm beginning to doubt it now...

Xenium is a gift given among ancient greeks and contains (MU<), and would also explain why Stiv thought it would be possible to make a &lit out of it, yet I fail to see how to get XENI from the rest. But I'm terrible at CCs, so I decided to just leave this idea here :)

Sid
Oh Revolutionary is applied to the entire clue.
 
Very clever
 
would you say this clue is revolutionary?
