Greets the breakers (5)
I believe the answer is:
waves
This clue might be a double definition.
'greets' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with communicating as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'breakers' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for waves that I've seen before include "Undulates" , "Breakers" , "Ripples" , "Undulations" .)
