Respectful gesture and awestruck remark for setter? (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
bow-wow
'setter?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'respectful gesture and awestruck remark' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'gesture' could be 'bow' (bowing is a kind of gesturing) and 'bow' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'wow' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bow-wow that I've seen before include "Cry of a dog" , "Child's word for dog" , "A child's pet or toy dog" , "A dog for a child?" , "Child's name for dog" .)
