Crossword Genius

Eggs are reported to be finished (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ova

'eggs' is the definition.
(term for egg cells)

'reported to be finished' is the wordplay.
'reported' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'to be finished' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'over' is a homophone of 'OVA'.

'are' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ova that I've seen before include "Likely end for Russian Fed cup players" , "targets for male seed?" , "Female egg-cells" , "Release of women" , "Eggs; sounds like above" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
