“Heavens!” you say sweetly (3)
I believe the answer is:
coo
This clue might be a double definition.
'heavens' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'say sweetly' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'you' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coo that I've seen before include "Speak lovingly -- cry softly" , "Dove's call" , "well I never!" , "Sound made by dove" , "Pigeon call" .)
