crape

Rfv-sense "crepe". --WikiTiki89 18:26, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

• 1882, Christopher Dresser, Japan: Its Architecture, Art, and Art Manufactures, Longmans, Green, and Company (original Harvard University), page 453

  There is in Japan a material which we call crape-paper, as it closely resembles the crimped woven fabric which we know as crape.

  Fresh Blueberries and Whipped Cream Nalesniki (Stuffed Crapes)

  She had on a beaded neon blue necklace and almost heelless black shoes with crape soles.

RFV-passed, but I templatized the sense to use {{altform}}, because as Amgine shows it seems to be attested in all the senses of crepe. Many more citations can be found at google books:"of crape". I wonder if the "mourning garments" and verb senses are attested as crepe... - -sche (discuss) 21:39, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Hmm... I wonder if we should have to very each sense of crepe individually (i.e. three cites for each sense)? --WikiTiki89 21:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

If we wanted to have separate sense lines for "Alternative form of crepe (paper)", "Alternative form of crepe (fabric)", etc, then yes, but the only time I can recall seeing an entry that did that, another user collapsed the lines into one, which seems reasonable — all other alt-form entries I see use just one line. Anyway, google books:"of crape"/"with crape"/"black crape" provides sufficient citations of the fabric sense and possibly the paper sense, google books:"crape paper" provides more of the paper sense and google books:"crape soles" attests the rubber sense. - -sche (discuss) 00:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
