Rake in westward channel (3)
I believe the answer is:
ten
This clue could be a double definition.
'rake in' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both quantities as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'westward channel' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ten that I've seen before include "Cardinal number" , "Roman numeral X" , "honour" , "Very young" , "time" .)
