Would one be a cross between various kinds of goat? (4)
I believe the answer is:
ibex
'goat?' is the definition.
(ibex is a kind of goat)
'would one be a cross between various kinds' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'be' is present in the answer.
'cross' could be 'x' (X is cross-shaped) and 'x' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ibex that I've seen before include "Come out of an egg" , "Wild mountain goat" , "Mountain-goat" , "being nimble-footed" , "Large-horned mountain goat" .)
