Mum stutters a little (4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
mama
'mum' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mama that I've seen before include "Mature woman" , "Mummy" , "Mum" , "Mother" , "Dam" .)
