While Browne's use seems to be the most famous, there are several other uses that don't directly refer to him and so can be considered independent. I added two more, so this is RFV-passed.--Urszag (talk) 23:14, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

I actually learned this word in a poem about said-bookisms that was published in the newspaper when I was a teen, and I don't see that poem cited. It ended with ". . . From scholarly declaim to birdish crow . . . Of all the verb forms mugient/A simple said is what the author meant". Khemehekis (talk) 00:02, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Update: I found this poem; turned out I didn't quite remember the words right. The poem with "mugient" is online here. Khemehekis (talk) 05:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
