Fruit held up by Burmese military (5)
I believe the answer is:
limes
'fruit held up by burmese military' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'held up by burmese military' is the wordplay.
'up by' says the letters should be written backwards.
'held' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'semil' is hidden within 'burmese military'.
'semil' in reverse letter order is 'LIMES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limes that I've seen before include "Citrus trees" , "Citrus fruit" , "Pieces of fruit" , "Citrus fruits" , "Green fruits" .)
