God makes duck noise (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odin

'god' is the definition.
(Odin is an example)

'duck noise' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'o'.
'noise' becomes 'din' (din is a kind of noise).
'o'+'din'='ODIN'

'makes' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for odin that I've seen before include "Supreme god of Scandanavian myth" , "Chief god of Scandinavian myth" , "Scandinavian war god" , "Pagan god" , "Old Scandinavian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
