People from Cairo tying apes, beating up (9)
I believe the answer is:
egyptians
'people' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'cairo tying apes beating up' is the wordplay.
'tying apes' anagrams to 'EGYPTIANS'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egyptians that I've seen before include "Pet saying about some who come from North Africa" , "Natives of Cairo, say" , "locals in Memphis?" , "Yes, taping the North Africans badly" , "population at Memphis for example" .)
