Hi Chrisg.
I've been itching to offer the same answer with similar parsing but still can't understand the definition.

If I may jump in, Busby: the def. is (a) "saw", a synonym for which is (a) "saying", as you should find in any dictionary --- OK ?

Thanks for that GK.
I'm sure yourself and Chrisg are correct.
I haven't found it yet, but will continue searching, (must find better dictionaries).
Take care.
