A little cry from a little bird (5)
I believe the answer is:
owlet
'little bird' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a little cry from a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation for little) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wet' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Little nocturnal bird" , "Junior member of parliament" , "Young bird; moth" , "Wise baby bird?" , "One may give a little screech" .)
