River of Wales? (5)
I believe the answer is:
swale
'river' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'of wales?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates anagramming the letters (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'wales' is an anagram of 'SWALE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for swale that I've seen is " Shade".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
