Seemingly not attested in Modern English. Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 03:18, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(This also goes for the following feld, storve, storven, & corven) You may see many Middle English verb tenses showing as English but marked as obsolete. This is because in the past we did not show Middle English separate from Modern English (there were no Middle English entries, or very few of them; and Middle English was not distinguished from Modern English at all). It was common practice to show Middle English as "obsolete" Modern English. This does not mean that the following should not still be checked for use in Modern times (post 1500), as some may still be dialectal in use. Leasnam (talk) 04:30, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a number of citations in Modern English (although some are arguably Scotts) to the citations page. I am not convinced that they support the supplied definition, however. Kiwima (talk) 22:50, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those do seem to be Scots; I've separated out those which I believe to be Scots; additionally, I've changed it to a adjective since it is better treated as one than a p.p. (except maybe in Middle Scots). Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 02:36, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Currently the Middle English brouden and browden are given as alt forms of each other! A real definition is needed at one of them. Equinox 04:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
