A sheepish expression? (5)
This could be a double definition.
'a sheepish' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Sound sheepish' mean 'bleat' so perhaps 'sheepish' could also mean 'bleat')
'expression?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Make complaint" , "Cry of a lamb at table" , "Cry of animal" , "carp" , "Sound of sheep or goat" .)
'expression' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
'a sheepish' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ba' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for baa that I've seen before include "to Heathrow, the operators" , "Sound from a ewe" , "not quite consistent set of good A-level results?" , "Statement from those flocking" , "Sound of a lamb" .)
