This word is quite rare; I've put a couple of citations on the citations page, and a few more are available via google books:"gaincalling"... but many are Middle English or Scots. I'd be surprised if six modern English citations exist, let alone if enough citations exist to support all six of the definitions the entry currently has. - -sche (discuss) 01:57, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

The second cite is definitely Scots IMO, but the first cite isn't genuine Middle English. Don't let the date fool you; it's grammatically modern, must be a translation or scribe's copy from post-1500ish. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 02:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

A word translated from earlier English (i.e. Middle or Old English) into Modern English and kept (--not swapped out for a different word) is the same as a use, correct? The transcriber could have easily used recall, but chose use of gaincall instead... Leasnam (talk) 13:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
