Please help me in parsing / solving this cryptic clue -
"Eye's fine for sight ultimately, not sound (9)

It involves a letter replacement, F for T, in a word for eye (as in a dick ;-)

The clue's absolutely fine, and I think I've seen similar ones in the past, but the answer itself is contained in the 'Dictionary Of Words Found Only In Crosswords.' And it comes a few pages after Jono's last word..

Thanks Jono and malone for the hints. Could get the word.

Bharat, I didn't help at all, but at least I didn't moan about the clue this time! I hope you didn't mind my slight digression. I do think it's interesting that there are words that no-one ever uses nowadays - in speech or in writing - but they are perfectly valid for crosswords. I always mean to compile a list, I might get round to it... one day!

"Canines cornering retreating male hybrid tailless buffalos (9)"

Def is buffalos in an unusual sense

Canine is a more unusual dog type but male and hybrid is common crosswordese

Thanks Candlesdave. Was completely foxed. Could zero in on the word with your parsing.
