in resolute it is said:
"resolute (comparative resoluter, superlative resolutest)"
and those entries are there.

However I have not found anywhere that this case is an exception of the rule:
"more resolute" and "most resolute"— This comment was unsigned.

I agree these forms are rare, and the inflection lines on resolute should list the more common forms (only or more prominently). But resoluter does exist: see "I'm the little 'Heart's Ease'!". And so does resolutest: see Paradise Regained.—msh210 19:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Striking. I've modified the inflection line as Msh210 suggests, and added the Dickinson quotation he mentions. —RuakhTALK 04:12, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
