Part Eskimo character in Kipling (3)
I believe the answer is:
kim
'kipling' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'part eskimo character' is the wordplay.
'part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'KIM' is hidden in the letters of 'eskimo character'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kim that I've seen before include "Book" , "-- Basinger, US actress" , "Rudyard Kipling novel" , "Girl" , "Boy's or (now usually) girl's name" .)
