Having four legs, may be apt to give a bleat (5)
I believe the answer is:
table
'having four legs may be apt' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'give a bleat' is the wordplay.
'give' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'giving' mean this (the letters give the letters for another word)).
'bleat' anagrammed gives 'TABLE'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Propose to a meeting" , "Feature of restaurant" , "Array of data" , "Food - list" , "Dummy (bridge); food" .)
