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.
To discourage. (If kept, consider glossing as obsolete, which I assume it would be.) Equinox ◑ 22:19, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- I found one cite...pretty recent...however, it seems to mean just the opposite (i.e. it's an antonym of "discourage") Leasnam (talk) 21:32, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
- I was wondering about that... it's more consistent with the prefix be- to impart courage than remove it. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 22:12, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

- Ah, good point. Also belimb and besleeve. That said, though, the overwhelming majority of be- verbs are in the more/towards/with/adding categories. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 13:35, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
