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 definition 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' with letters rearranged gives 'TABLE'.
'to' acts as a 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" .)
