The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.


Rfv-sense "to deny". This does not seem to have survived into English. Incidentally, we're doing better than old dictionaries if we're right that this is a separate etymology (the ones I checked didn't distinguish this etymologically from warning someone of danger, but did offer usexes "warned 'im the house" and "would warn us" if that helps searching for citations). - -sche (discuss) 05:11, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
