A cry of `iShip ahoy!^i (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a cry of 'iship ahoyi' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'of 'iship ahoyi' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'PAH' is hidden in the letters of 'iship ahoyi'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for pah that I've seen is " Expression of disgust".)
