Webster or Wyle
I believe the answer is:
noah
'webster or wyle' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for noah that I've seen before include "Ancient Mariner" , "Biblical shipbuilder" , "Old ship builder" , "Great Biblical boatman" , "Patriarch who saved his family and all the animals from drowning" .)
