Is he mincing liver for the monkey? (5-7)
I believe the answer is:
organ-grinder
'is he mincing liver for the monkey?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'is he' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'he' could be 'gan' and 'gan' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for organ-grinder that I've seen before include "Street musician with a hurdy-gurdy" , "Monkey's master when playing on the street" .)
