recounts
Relates in detail
Recounts covers two distinct verbs.
One means to narrate or tell in detail: She recounted her adventures in Southeast Asia.
The other, stressed on the second syllable, means to count again, typically votes in a close election.
As a noun, a recount is an instance of counting again: The candidate demanded a recount after losing by just forty-seven votes.
Both senses share the idea of going through something methodically, whether events in memory or ballots in a pile.
