Talk:husky

Archaic sense: Eskimo

Webster 1913 supplement gives "husky" (perhaps capitalised?) as an archaic term for "an Eskimo" (noun) and "the Eskimo language" (proper noun). This makes etymological sense, per our entry, but we need some attestation. Equinox ◑ 01:44, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I can cite the language sense, and the person sense seems plausible and is used in one of the citations, but is hard to search for because, of course, most hits are referring to the dogs. - -sche (discuss) 05:14, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Why does "husky" mean fat?

How did that sense develop from something relating to the voice? Equinox ◑ 17:14, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
