Rfv-sense: someone added a request for definition for a meaning similar to "put someone up" (house them), but I can find no evidence for this meaning. Can anyone else? Kiwima (talk) 03:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kiwima You recently replaced the rfdef in diff. Did you end up finding attestation? Ioaxxere (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2023 (UTC) @Ioaxxere: No, I did not. It is still requiring attestation. Kiwima (talk) 09:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
