Is relie a word? I suppose re-lie is. Ate we looking for an obsolete form of rally?

Matakari, didn't you check Chambers? Relie is given there - 'obs (so 'no more'), to assemble, rally'.

 

PS This week's EV should be fun for you (and it was pretty easy too!)

PS And I think the parsing is Re, are, (as in 're, we're going, we're eating say) and Lie, remain.

Question Author

Thanks, NACW, for the parsing, and it's all there in the Red Book which I should have consulted! I'll be having a look at this week's EV, thanks.

Thanks, Matakari - I'm always puzzled when you don't look in Chambers!
