Tally a nobleman (5)

I believe the answer is:

count

I believe this is a double definition.

'tally' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'a nobleman' is the second definition.
(count is a kind of nobleman)

(Other definitions for count that I've seen before include "Matter to consider" , "Nobleman; tally" , "Cut some ice" , "European title" , "Sum up" .)

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