Village where the lark ascends around midday (5)
I believe the answer is:
kraal
'village' is the definition.
(kraal is a kind of village)
'the lark ascends around midday' is the wordplay.
'ascends' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'ascending' mean this).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'midday' becomes 'a' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lark' written backwards gives 'kral'.
'kral' going around 'a' is 'KRAAL'.
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kraal that I've seen before include "Fenced settlement" , "Village of huts" , "Corral" , "African village enclosure" , "village in Africa" .)
