Pitman inspires awe as a capturer of thoughts? (4-6)
I believe the answer is:
mind-reader
'a capturer of thoughts?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'pitman inspires awe' is the wordplay.
'pitman' becomes 'miner' (I've seen this before).
'inspires' is an insertion indicator (inspire means to breathe in).
'awe' becomes 'dread' (I've seen this before).
'miner' going around 'dread' is 'MIND-READER'.
'as' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mind-reader that I've seen before include "Telepathist" , "stage entertainer" , "One with psychic powers" , "Thought diviner" , "one with special powers" .)
