Forgive me for butting in here and for my clear ignorance but can someone explain where in the clue it tells you to remove the first letter of H ave I get that to own = have and up = backwards and I get girl = answer eva but in bow doesn't do it for me in terms of hinting at removing the letter please someone explain!!!

Bow indicates Cockney rhyming slang
