  • I'm sorry for not adding quotations when I first created this entry. I found some then, but trying to find them again has proved difficult. I apologize again - from now on I'll try to add quotations when I create each entry, so it will be easier for everyone involved. --Mat200 13:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
Cited I think. Not a very common sense. A few more cites of the same type are available. Possibly should be specialized to "persons who are shy and retiring or mousy". Added two specific (sub)senses of the transitive-derived sense in fairly common use. DCDuring TALK 13:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

RFV passed. Thanks for the cites, DCDuring! —RuakhTALK 17:15, 3 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
