Animal with an African tribe (3)
I believe the answer is:
ewe
'animal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'with an african tribe' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'with' could be 'w' (abbreviation) and 'w' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ewe that I've seen before include "One looking sheepish" , "Dam of a sheep" , "Wool supplier" , "One needing pastoral care" , "Female on farm" .)
