Staff put on with Fleming from Skopje? (10)
I believe the answer is:
macedonian
'skopje?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'staff put on with fleming' is the wordplay.
'staff' becomes 'mace' (a mace is a ceremonial staff or stick).
'put on' becomes 'don' (as in donning or putting on an item of clothing).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fleming' becomes 'ian' (I've seen this in another clue).
'mace'+'don'+'ian'='MACEDONIAN'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for macedonian that I've seen before include "East European" , "European language" .)
