Turkish neighbour of characters in taxi ranks (4)
I believe the answer is:
iran
'turkish neighbour' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'characters in taxi ranks' is the wordplay.
'characters in' indicates a hidden word.
'IRAN' is hidden within 'taxi ranks'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Country lying to south of Caspian sea" , "Country where the official language is Farsi" , "Islamic republic on the Persian Gulf" , "Persia some time ago" , "Country of western Asia" .)
