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.

- The OED cites John Galt's Ringan Gilhaize: "His father, through all the time of the first King Charles, an eydent ettler for preferment." They mark it Scottish, rare and note: "Sc. National Dict. records this word as still in use in Roxburghshire in 1944." Ƿidsiþ 08:41, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Real, but so extremely rare that I'd doubt we could attest it in Scots, let alone in English. RFV failed. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:21, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
