Little piggy from the west? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little piggy' is the definition.
('this little piggy went to market' nursery rhyme)

'the west?' is the wordplay.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'west?' becomes 'oe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
't'+'oe'='TOE'

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toe that I've seen before include "Lower digit" , "Conform-...the line" , "Pedal extremity" , "'Little piggy'" , "Lower tip of something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
