False god inadequate? Cry (3)
I believe the answer is:
baa
'cry' is the definition.
(baa is a kind of cry)
'false god inadequate?' is the wordplay.
'false god' becomes 'baal' (I've seen this before).
'inadequate?' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'inadequate' mean this (only some of the word appears)).
'baal' with its last letter taken off is 'BAA'.
(Other definitions for baa that I've seen before include "Sound of sheep" , "Sound from a ewe" , "Sound of a lamb" , "Beastly sound f" , "Cry of a sheep" .)
