Intonation of women in Dynasty? (5)
I believe the answer is:
twang
'intonation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'women in dynasty?' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'dynasty?' becomes 'tang' (Chinese dynasty).
'w' put inside 'tang' is 'TWANG'.
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for twang that I've seen before include "Sharp vibrating sound" , "Characteristically plucky" , "Distinctive nasal style of pronunciation" , "ringing sound" , "it takes pluck to produce?" .)
