Amazon, for instance (5)

I believe the answer is:

river

'amazon for instance' is the definition.
(I know that Amazon is a river)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for river that I've seen before include "Dee, Exe or Wye, say" , "Eg, the Rhine" , "Waterway" , "It flows" , "Eg, Amazon" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
