Q1. I am four words
Though there appear to be three
Two ways of pronouncing
Three spellings there be.
The first is a manner of indicating, a case being such, or therefore, or a measure of degree.
The second is a pig, female you see.
The third is also on a farm, a manner of planting of seed.
The fourth is to stitch, to hold fabric together, indeed.

Can you tell me now, what word could this be?

3 Different spellings

1ST Pronunciation

SOW - seeds

SAW - indication

2nd Pronunciation

SOW - female pig

(To sow Seeds & pig) are same spelling but pronounced differently

Sorry to nitpick, Les, but I think you meant:

1. SO
2. SOW (pig)
3. SOW (plant)
4. SEW

1, 3, 4 same sound. No SAW.

How's your puzzle coming? Waiting with great anticipation.

Hi Syzygy,

I indicate that I SAW it first.... SO there! Ha ha.

RE; The grid is ready my friend, just waiting until Wednesday (1st Feb)
That will be a good time to start because all the weekend crossword posts will be fading out
I will most probably post the advert with email address very early hours of Wednesday and get back on site Wednesday evening because I am at my voluntary work all day Wednesday. That will give time for old and new setters to contact me
