Ancient Celtic ship. DTLHS (talk) 16:14, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- This was added as part of w:Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss (a mostly good project, but in this case it seems the term may have been added without checking whether it was common enough, in the sense given, in the sort of sources we accept), because it was mentioned in 56 BC. I can find citations, which I put at Citations:swanship, of both swanship and swan-ship, but they don't seem specific to Celtic ships; it seems like a general word for a(ny?) (fictional?), presumably swan-shaped, ship. I think I've cited this with a broader definition (and with a second definition). - -sche (discuss) 18:18, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
- A sense "the office of one who is in charge of swans" might also be citeable with effort. - -sche (discuss) 19:59, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
