Man, for example, I'll hear (4)
I believe the answer is:
isle
'man for example' is the definition.
(Isle of Man is an example)
'i'll hear' is the wordplay.
'hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'ill' is a homophone of 'ISLE'.
(Other definitions for isle that I've seen before include "I shall hear" , "Prince Edward perhaps" , "Small region of land" , "Small area of land in water" , "Land amid water" .)
