24D Uncle had Native American brandy and water (6) P-W-E-

It's the only clue I have left and I have no idea at all! Many thanks in advance.

Thank you. I'm still none the wiser as to how you arrive at that from the clue (even knowing that they are a Native american people)

[ubasses]

uncle is slang for a pawnbroker = pawnee

I get the uncle/pawn/Native American bit, but where does the brandy and water fit in, please ?

[scotman]

Chambers has Brandy-pawnee as brandy and water; from Hindi word 'pani' = water

Thanks, scotman
