___ Lama (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dalai

'lama' is the definition.
(Dalai Lama is an example)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dalai that I've seen before include "The . . . . . Lama is Tibet's spiritual ruler" , ".... Lama is spiritual leader of Tibet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the USA Today, the LA Times, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate and the Penny Press.
