Permit I see to put up tiny building on Park Lane? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hotel
'tiny building on park lane?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'permit i see to put up' is the wordplay.
'permit' becomes 'let' (synonyms).
'i see' becomes 'oh' (both can mean 'I understand').
'to put up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'let'+'oh'='letoh'
'letoh' written backwards gives 'HOTEL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hotel that I've seen before include "sleeper" , "Savoy, perhaps" , "Large inn" , "Accommodation building" , "temporary accommodation" .)
