Talk:guardein
Note to self (or anyone else I suppose) the quotation is actually Anglo-Norman by Wiktionary criteria, so this needs and Anglo-Norman section and an Old French citation or reference. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:38, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Rfv-sense. Old French. Since we classify Old French and Anglo-Norman as separate languages, this needs to be cited in both. Unfortunately nobody really knows what the difference between the two is, *sigh*. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:44, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Well this seems to be attestable in English(!) as a historical term, also (deprecated template usage) Guardein in German as a variant of (deprecated template usage) Wardein. There are some uses of this in books with limited preview that seem to be Old or Middle French rather than Anglo-Norman, but without a date, how can they support one or the other?

- The Godefroy dictionary doesn't give this, oddly enough it only give (deprecated template usage) wardein with a 'w', not with a G. So maybe create that and dump this as (currently) unattestable. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:41, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Striking, since Mglovesfun (talk • contribs) removed the Old French section later the same day as his above comment. (His edit summary was "Old French failed WT:RFV; do not reenter without valid citations. But see wardein"; but that's not strictly true, because the word hadn't been here for a month, and he never commented back here to indicate that he considered the word to have failed.) —RuakhTALK 20:56, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
