Tulsa's strange name for leading man (6)
I believe the answer is:
sultan
'man' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tulsa's strange name for leading' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'name for' becomes 'n' (I've seen this in other clues).
'leading' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tulsa' with letters rearranged gives 'sulta'.
'sulta'+'n'='SULTAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sultan that I've seen before include "Ottoman sovereign" , "Chicken" , "One governs" , "Ruler of Brunei" , "Turkish ruler" .)
