To lead forth. In Google Books I find various scannos, e.g. "notwithstanding all this forth-leading" (hyphenated), "will no doubt be forthled to a great increase in sugar-beet" (actually a multi-column error; the word was "forthcoming"), "forthleading cause of death" (fourth leading).

- cited It is true that most of the hits are scannos, but not all. The first one that you quote as hyphenated is a modernization of Julian of Norwich, and the same quote can be found unhyphenated here. Of course, modernizations of Middle English are a gray area, so I added a selection of other quotes to the citations page. Kiwima (talk) 23:12, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
