Cry at broken table (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bleat

'cry' is the definition.
(I know that bleat is a type of cry)

'broken table' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'table' anagrammed gives 'BLEAT'.

'at' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bleat that I've seen before include "Table (anag.)" , "carp" , "Sheep's weak cry" , "Complain; sheep's cry" , "Sheep's call" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
