I don't think any of these senses make it as English, but before converting the entry to Middle English (probably with a different lemma form), I thought I'd bring it here. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 18:39, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's just an alternative spelling of quede. Dbfirs 22:02, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
quede and qued should be merged. Since there is more at qued, I suppose it can go there (?) Leasnam (talk) 19:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I also believe that quede and qued should be merged, because these two are just two different forms of the same word, and in my opinion, they should be treated as such. Mountebank1 (talk) 11:16, 24 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"qued" spelt thusly is in Roget's Descriptive Word Finder page 141 by Barbara Kipfer, 2003, meaning "evil, bad". Sk4p (talk) 14:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

None of the OED's quotations at their entry for quede and its numerous alternative spellings show the qued spelling after 1450. This looks to be a Middle English-only spelling. DCDuring TALK 15:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The RFV for this entry was resolved last month. Can we archive this discussion? The length of this page makes it really slow to load on my machine. Kiwima (talk) 19:50, 7 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
