Soldier loses the head with sailor over where Noah landed (6)
I believe the answer is:
ararat
'where noah landed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'soldier loses the head with sailor' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'soldier' could be 'ra' (member of the Royal Artillery) and 'ra' is found within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ara' 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).
'over' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ararat that I've seen before include "Ark's supposed resting place" , "Mount on which Noah's ark grounded" , "Mount on which Noah's Ark is said to have landed" , "Noah's Ark landfall mt." , "Biblical mountain" .)
