Breed a little fox with koala's tail (5)
I believe the answer is:
akita
'breed' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'a little fox with koala's tail' is the wordplay.
'little fox' becomes 'kit' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'tail' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'koala' is 'a'.
'a'+'kit'+'a'='AKITA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for akita that I've seen before include "powerful dog" , "dog from Japan" , "Japanese breed of dog" , "heavy brute?" .)
