while is not an adverb, so something seems wrong with the first definition here. Equinox ◑ 14:09, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

@Equinox: it was an obsolete sense of the word while. — Sgconlaw (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@Sgconlaw: So then we need an Adverb section at while, marked obsolete? Equinox ◑ 01:10, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

@Equinox: I guess. Seems like while has a number of obsolete adverb senses including “formerly”, and “occasionally”, and the dialect conjunction sense “until”. — Sgconlaw (talk) 04:27, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
