Omission of singular article

Hello,

In the following sentence, can a singular article be omitted before the word "source" as follows :

"Within this split, turned into source."

Thanks in advance for your kind reply.

There is not enough context even to guess at what your sentence is trying to say, and what you have is not a complete sentence. I suppose you're asking whether you should write "a source" or just "source", and I've never seen "source" used as an uncountable noun, so I guess "a source" is what you want. Still, none of the rest of it makes sense to me, so I could be wrong.
