Island east of Bali (5)

I believe the answer is:

timor

(Other definitions for timor that I've seen before include "Island of the Malay Archipelago" , "Island north of Australia" , "SE Asian island" , "Indonesian island" , "East Indies island NW from Darwin" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
