"Clarification" can be both a count noun and a non-count noun.

Anonymouswaiting for a clarification ... waiting for clarification
Both are correct. The usual phrasing I've seen is the second (without "a").

It's interesting. I switched to British English, and only 'waiting for clarification' could be found.

Hi CJ

Mirabile dictu! -- What does it mean? Thanks.

It's Latin. Literally, "wonderful to tell". In ordinary, casual English, "Well, you don't say!" or "Well, how about that!" or even "Strange to say".
