Even if I table otherwise (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albeit

'even if' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i table otherwise' is the wordplay.
'otherwise' indicates an anagram.
'i'+'table'='itable'
'itable' with letters rearranged gives 'ALBEIT'.

(Other definitions for albeit that I've seen before include "In spite of the fact that" , "Conjunction meaning although" , "Even though" , "Although, despite" , "A literary although" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
