Kid raised in Novosibirsk (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rib

'kid' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'raised in novosibirsk' is the wordplay.
'raised' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'bir' is hidden in the letters of 'novosibirsk'.
'bir' written backwards gives 'RIB'.

(Other definitions for rib that I've seen before include "Eve is knownj as Adam's . . ." , "that was sacrificed for wife originally" , "Guy" , "Hinged rod in umbrella" , "Chest bone, may be floating" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
