One of the quotations in the entry is a translation of this one; since we are giving examples of the use of the English term, including the full foreign-language quotation seems nonstandard. (We don't do it for quotations of the Bible, for example.) Hence I moved it here:
- c. 1342, Ranulf Higden, Polychronicon:
- In illa insula vigent sortilegia, superstitiones, atque præstigia; nam mulieres ibidem navigaturis ventum vendunt, quasi sub tribus fili nodis inclusum; ita ut, sicut plus de vento habere voluerint, plures nodos evolvant.
