The verb form currently has a marker "(Can we find and add a quotation of Forby to this entry?)". I'm going to remove that, because I think it refers to the second of Robert Forby's dictionary entries below, not to an actual use of the word we could use as a quote. Google books doesn't come up with anything else by a Forby. --Qef (talk) 12:05, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
