Cow about, bearing small print? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
lower case
'small print?' is the definition.
'lower case' can be an answer for 'print?' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'small' bit.
'cow about bearing' is the wordplay.
'cow' becomes 'lower' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'bearing' becomes 'se' (south east, a compass bearing).
'lower'+'ca'+'se'='LOWER-CASE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lower case that I've seen before include "Not in capital letters" , "Small letters" , "inappropriate in High Court?" , "small type" , "lacking capital" .)
