State of birth (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

natal

I believe this is a double definition.

'state' is the first definition.
(Natal is an example)

'of birth' is the second definition.
(natal means relating to birth)

(Other definitions for natal that I've seen before include "To do with birth - in S Africa?" , "Relating to birth - former South African province" , "Province of South Africa" , "Former African place" , "Like a birthday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
