Read The Last of the Mohicans, possibly (4)
I believe the answer is:
scan
'read' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'last of the mohicans possibly' is the wordplay.
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
'possibly' becomes 'can' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The last letter of 'mohicans' is 's'.
's'+'can'='SCAN'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scan that I've seen before include "Look over (in order to copy?)" , "at one's feet?" , "MRI or CAT say" , "Medical procedure" , "Survey - fit in metrically" .)
