Novice with inclination for dialect of German (8)
I believe the answer is:
tyrolean
'dialect of german' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'novice with inclination' is the wordplay.
'novice' becomes 'tyro' (term for a beginner).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'inclination' becomes 'lean' (synonyms).
'tyro'+'lean'='TYROLEAN'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tyrolean that I've seen before include "from mountainous part of Europe" , "Residing in Innsbruck" , "European" , "Native of picturesque mountainous region of western Austria" , "could come from Innsbruck" .)
