RFV discussion: June–July 2022[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


The Chaucer quote is:

  • Hengwrt: "fflemere of feendes", scan, text
  • Ellesmere: "fflemere of feendes", scan, text (paragraph 2, line 5 on page)
  • 1542: "flemere of fendes", scan (column 2, line 4 on page)
  • 1860: "Flemer4 of fiendës", scan

But do any other quotations exist? Chaucer wrote in Middle English, anyway. (I'm confused about whether the 1860 one can count since it's basically in Modern English, with occasional obsolete words.) 98.170.164.88 02:32, 13 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Nothing in OED or EEBO besides Chaucer and another ME text, also listed at MED. This, that and the other (talk) 02:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
