Gives, apportions (6)
I believe the answer is:
allots
I believe this is a double definition.
'gives' is the first definition.
(allotting is a kind of giving)
'apportions' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for allots that I've seen before include "Dispenses or distributes" , "Gives, apportions" , "Allows to have" , "Distributes, gives as share" , "Apportions or assigns" .)
