Talk:digne

• Why did someone delete my addition of digne as adverb? It's listed that way in Lewis & Short -- the same link already present.160.36.190.173 16:09, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
  • No headword. No formatting. Now added properly. SemperBlotto (talk) 19:18, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
• Ahh, not formatted so deleted. Glad to have pointed out the obvious hole in the definition.

digne

I can only find one post-ME use of this:

1561, Clément Marot, translated by Robert Norvell, The meroure of an Chrstiane^[sic]‎^[1], Edinburgh: Robert Lekprewik:

Abyding the ransome, and the digne payment / Of the lambes oblation, for them all […]

I found a number of post-ME quotes (all on the citations page). Most of them look like probably code-switching with French (italics or scare quotes), but there are a few that squeak into early modern English. The fact that the request for citation are all Chaucer seem to indicate that the Websters this was originally taken from was using middle English. Kiwima (talk) 00:07, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

RFV-resolved. I have merged the first two definitions, and that is supported by the three early ME citations we have. The third definitely failed. Kiwima (talk) 22:17, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
