Shout to attract attention overcomes person from West Asian sultanate (5)
I believe the answer is:
omani
'west asian sultanate' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'shout to attract attention overcomes person' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'person' could be 'man' (man is a kind of person) and 'man' is found in the answer.
'shout' could be 'oi' ('oi' might be shouted to get someone's attention) and 'oi' is located in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for omani that I've seen before include "Middle East national" , "Native of one Arabian sultanate" , "Gulf Arab" , "Speaker of Arabic" , "Naomi (anag) -- from Muscat?" .)
