Crossword Genius

Tell nobleman (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

count

This clue is a double definition.

'tell' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

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

(Other definitions for count that I've seen before include "Cut some ice" , "Tolstoy was one" , "Sum up" , "Nobleman - tell how many" , "earl abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
