Shallowest of the Great Lakes (4)

I believe the answer is:

erie

'shallowest of the great lakes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erie that I've seen before include "Buffalo's lake" , "N. American lake" , "Lake between Canada and the US" , "Great lake in Eire" , "Superior companion" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Washington Post, the Universal, The Times, the Ink Well xwords, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
