Name a song about a horny individual (5)
I believe the answer is:
nyala
'a horny individual' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'name a song about' is the wordplay.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'song' becomes 'lay' (lay is a kind of song).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'a'+'lay'='alay'
'alay' backwards is 'yala'.
'n'+'yala'='NYALA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nyala that I've seen before include "one of a herd" , "South African resident" , "Ruminant" , "South African antelope - Sudanese city" , "Antelope of southern Africa" .)
