Nepalese phrase translated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sherpa

'nepalese' is the definition.
(Sherpas are a Nepalese ethnic group)

'phrase translated' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'phrase' anagrammed gives 'SHERPA'.

(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "- - Tensing" , "guide to range" , "Member of the Himalayan people famous for their skill as mountaineers" , "Phrase for Himalayan mountain climber" , "Mountain dweller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
