Witchdoctor's fake article (6)
I believe the answer is:
shaman
'witchdoctor's' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'fake article' is the wordplay.
'fake' becomes 'sham' (sham can mean fake or pretend).
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'sham'+'an'='SHAMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shaman that I've seen before include "16 21 [INDIAN IMPORT]" , "Doctor-priest working by magic" , "Witch doctor" , "Man of spirit" , "Medium between the visible and spirit worlds" .)
