Dutch, RFV of the senses "A tilted angle or strip.", "A blink, instant.", "big, strong, firm; redoubted.", "smart, clever, crafty.", "fine, good." All are present in the WNT but there is only one quotation containing a use for "big, strong, firm; redoubted". ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 17:24, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

@Lingo Bingo Dingo I added quotations for etymology 3. Didn't find much for etymology 2. What do you think? —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 23:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the sense "blink, instant" doesn't exist. The phrase "in een haai en een draai" is a metaphorical use of "turn, act of turning". I'm against deleting the whole entry "turn, angle, incline", although uses are unfindable, the existence of the phrase and the many mentions convince me that it existed. I think the WT:CFI aren't fit for obsolete dialect words.
