Honour an independent Arab (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omani

'arab' is the definition.
(Omani is an example)

'honour an independent' is the wordplay.
'honour' becomes 'om'.
'independent' becomes 'i'.
'om'+'an'+'i'='OMANI'

(Other definitions for omani that I've seen before include "One from Muscat" , "M East person" , "Inhabitant of Middle Eastern sultanate" , "coming from the Middle East" , "Native of one Arabian sultanate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
