Let Stalk Strine (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a 5-letter word
Look, I couldn't help myself: I hear people pronouncing 52 across wrongly and it grates a little! That was definitely the seed for this meta puzzle. Hopefully, you will be linguistically flexible enough to find your way to the answer, which is a 5-letter word. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=129515#p129515
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
