Judge almost above god (4)
I believe the answer is:
jove
'god' is the definition.
(Jove is an example)
'judge almost above' is the wordplay.
'judge' becomes 'j'.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'above' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'over' with its last letter taken away is 'ove'.
'j'+'ove'='JOVE'
(Other definitions for jove that I've seen before include "By . . . . ! - call to Jupiter" , "Jupiter (god)" , "Another form of Jupiter" , "Olympian" .)
