<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">portends</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('bode' can be a synonym of 'portend')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Another definition for bodes that I've seen is " Is a sign of, promises".)
I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and the King Feature Syndicate.
