Rfv-sense: listening, specifically for sounds produced within the body.
I don't think this is ever used outside a medical context, based on a bgc search. DCDuring TALK 19:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Actually rfd-redundant, isn't it? And if it is a less well worded form of #2, surely if #2 is attested, then so is this! Mglovesfun (talk) 23:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Failed; deleted. It was redundant as worded anyway. Note though that it was added originally as just "listening" (by SB). That sense might exist. I'll try to find cites and will re-add it if I can do so.—msh210℠ (talk) 17:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- The first 100 results at google books:+auscultation -body -stethoscope -intitle:auscultation -abdominal -abdomen -bowel yield only one not in the not-nominated sense, at [1], but I see it as a "snippet" and can't tell what the word means in it. There's also [2]: again, I have no idea what the word means. (See also [3].)—msh210℠ (talk) 17:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
