A bunch of old crap (literally!) Jin and Tonik (talk) 16:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

It is in {{RQ:Gascoigne Venerie}} with about every imaginable spelling (fiants, fyants, feance, fiaunts, ...), but it does turn up in other authors, like John Taylor and Richard Blome. I would cast (!) doubt on the mention of "boar" in the definition; the term seems confined to canids and badgers in the uses I've seen. This, that and the other (talk) 00:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Does it take a singular or plural verb? DCDuring (talk) 23:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm unable to find an instance where it is the subject of a verb. It might be uncountable, although Taylor does put it in parallel with plural nouns. This, that and the other (talk) 08:21, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
