Very little change reflected in bureau, ostensibly (3)
I believe the answer is:
sou
'very little change' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'reflected in bureau ostensibly' is the wordplay.
'reflected' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'uos' can be found hidden inside 'bureau ostensibly'.
'uos' written backwards gives 'SOU'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sou that I've seen before include "almost worthless" , "Little money once" , "Tiny amount of money" , "Paltry sum" , "Old Fr. coin; sounds like entreat" .)
