A word spoken in a German accent, so it's alleged (7)
I believe the answer is:
averred
I believe this is a double definition.
'a word spoken in a german accent' is the first definition.
(german accent pronounces w as v)
'it's alleged' is the second definition.
('aver' can be a synonym of 'allege')
'so' is the link.
(Other definitions for averred that I've seen before include "Held" , "Stated, asserted" , "Claimed" , "confidently stated" , "Maintained" .)
