Can G sound be represented with Japanese script? (5)
I believe the answer is:
kanji
'script?' is the definition.
(I know that Kanji is a type of script)
'can g sound be represented with japanese' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'g' could be 'k' (synonyms) and 'k' is present in the answer.
'japanese' could be 'j' (international code for Japanese vehicles) and 'j' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ani' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kanji that I've seen before include "Chinese character in Japanese" , "Japanese writing system" , "Oriental character" .)
