In fall, ring the Italian back in Mediterranean capital (7)
I believe the answer is:
tripoli
'mediterranean capital' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in fall ring the italian back' is the wordplay.
'in fall' becomes 'trip' (as in tripping over. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'ring' becomes 'o' (letter resembling a ring).
'the italian' becomes 'il' ('the' in Italian).
'back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'il' reversed gives 'li'.
'trip'+'o'+'li'='TRIPOLI'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tripoli that I've seen before include "North African city" , "Capital of Libya" , "Port city of Lebanon" , "Libyan city" , "Place in Libya" .)
