That's how I took it initially; but when I looked it up, it always meant making a plan in every single example.

Well, the meanings aren't always clearly distinguishable. You take counsel, and that leads to the formation of a plan, so you can often argue. I wouldn't damn you for saying "they formed a plan" or the like here, but "taking counsel" sounds better to me so I'll go with it. And is a common meaning of the expression.  Merely sending messengers to the saint to beg him for forgiveness isn't much of a "plan". |

By the way, regarding cuvula, it probably makes more sense to take it as some kind of cellar in this case (rather than a tub). I found a definition along those lines here (bottom of page): ducange.enc.sorbonne.fr/cuva |

"taking counsel" sounds better to me so I'll go with it. As I said, that was my original understanding. They got together and figured out what to do. By the way, regarding cuvula, it probably makes more sense to take it as some kind of cellar in this case (rather than a tub). I found a definition along those lines here (bottom of page): ducange.enc.sorbonne.fr/cuvaI didn't know that word, but I initially suspected it to be some kind of pantry. |
