Elephant driver’s ham? (6)
I believe the answer is:
mahout
This could be a double definition.
'elephant driver's' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ham?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mahout that I've seen before include "jumbo? I'll see to it" , "Elephant-driver" , "He looks after elephants in India" , "Jumbo rider" , "Keeper and driver of elephants" .)
