Crossword Genius

Turkish leader is a little extravagant (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aga

'turkish leader' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a little extravagant' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates a hidden word (a little bit of the clue).
'AGA' can be found hidden inside 'extravagant'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aga that I've seen before include "In Turkey, an official" , "Proprietary name for a domestic stove" , "Cook's equipment" , "Swedish stove" , "military leader" .)

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