Rfv-sense: "to verify". Tagged by @Tooironic but not listed. RcAlex36 (talk) 16:41, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tooironic, MDBG has "to verify by means of research (esp. historical details)" as part of the definition. I think "to verify" is just a less accurate translation of the first sense and is not worth a separate sense. — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 09:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

@Tooironic, RcAlex36, Justinrleung, the sense being discussed here looks like a dated usage pattern.

逵既至行在，歸罪於二人，理官無所考證⋯ [Written Vernacular Chinese, trad.]

Having arrived at Quinsay, Kui put all the blame on (those) two (dead persons), and the judge had nothing with which to verify (his claim) ...

@Frigoris Do you think we should have this as a separate sense from the first sense and perhaps mark it as dated/archaic? If so, would you be able to find a few more quotes? — justin(r)leung _{{ (t...) | c=› }} 22:39, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

@Justinrleung, I can't find more quotations that can be securely matched to this usage. I think a {{lb|zh|dated}} would be fine. --Frigoris (talk) 19:12, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
