Talk in a feeble manner every few days (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weekly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'talk in a feeble manner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'every few days' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'few days' could be 'week' (a week is 7 days) and 'week' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for weekly that I've seen before include "Periodical" , "Hebdomadal" , "eg Every Tuesday" , "52 times a year" , "Regular publication" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
