Just looks like a typo to me. SemperBlotto 11:02, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, though being pedantic we should move the sense to remerge then rfv that, as if remerge does exist, nobody can deny that remerged is the past of it. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This certainly has currency in the sense of "to join together after having been separated" ((deprecated template usage) re- + (deprecated template usage) merge), and it also looks to have some currency as a misspelling of (deprecated template usage) reemerge (e.g. "When he remerged from the back room after turning on the hot water, he held a large wrench in his hand." Probably worth an RFV to determine the commonality. - [The]DaveRoss 11:33, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Both sections cited. "Reemerged from" is about a hundred times more common than "remerged from" on Google Books. - -sche (discuss) 02:28, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
