Mother East's forename? (3)
I believe the answer is:
mae
'forename?' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'mother east's' is the wordplay.
'mother' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'ma'+'e'='MAE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mae that I've seen before include "- - West, movie vamp" , "-- West, C-twenty actress" , "Girl" , "more Scots" , "The first Hollywood blonde femme fatale, . . . West" .)
