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.

- It is well attested from the end of the Middle English period so it may have survived a few more decades to become technically modern.

- Poking around, I didn't spot any examples in the OED or EDD that weren't Middle English (or older), I didn't spot any books published between 1500 and 1650 using it (when I searched Google Books for that), and more "recent" (1800s+) works discussing it have citations of Chaucer, Lydgate's poem on the Virgin Mary, and Richard Coer de Lion (i.e. Middle English). - -sche (discuss) 21:42, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
