Having publicity people around hotel - it adds a little dash (11)
I believe the answer is:
hyphenation
'a little dash' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'having publicity people around hotel it adds' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'people' could be 'nation' and 'nation' is found within the answer.
'hotel' could be 'h' (phonetic alphabet) and 'h' is present in the answer.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hyphenation that I've seen before include "Act of joining with a dash" , "Dashing through manuscripts" .)
