It's in the OED entry for (deprecated template usage) zenzic, but with only one quotation, which capitalizes it, writes it with a capital letter, defines it, and spells it differently (Zenzizenzike). —RuakhTALK 15:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just added 3 citations from google books. Goldenrowley 05:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFV Passed. Goldenrowley 05:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a bit premature to count this as passed. One of those cites is for (deprecated template usage) zenzizenzizenzic. The other two don't have the same part of speech, and I can't decipher the adjective cite. —RuakhTALK 20:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Correct me if I am wrong but right now we're just trying to find 3 usages to pass: not three for each part of speech. With 392 hits on Google and 3 uses in Google books, generally the word is passing. The compound was my oversight: I did not notice it was part of a line-breaked longer word, when I added it. To replace that, there's a third cite at Google books but I can't get the snippet to work: Robert Burton, Philosophaster: Philosophaster - Page 41 by Robert Burton, Connie McQuillen, 1993.

I think it's three per sense, else how would {{rfv-sense}} work? —RuakhTALK 17:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All senses RFV failed; citations moved to Citations:zenzizenzic, together with a weird thing that an anon added[1] that may or may not be a quotation. —RuakhTALK 20:27, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
