… of twelve from US capital without a university (4)
I believe the answer is:
june
'us capital without a university' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'of twelve from' is the wordplay.
'of twelve' becomes 'jun' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'from' becomes 'e' (I've seen this in other clues).
'jun'+'e'='JUNE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for june that I've seen before include "The "flaming" month?" , "some time" , "Month after 14" , "Month named after Jupiter's wife" , "Sixth month" .)
