abstorted

Used to have only two quotes, one of which –

• 1855, Edward Nichols Dennys, The Alpha, or first principle of the human mind:

  He has abstorted the Lightning from the clouds

– shouldn't be regarded as a wordform of the adjective lexeme abstorted, but one of the verb abstort. This left only one quote, and I managed to find another; one more quote needed for CfI. 蒼鳥 _{fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong.} 16:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

alternatively, maybe give all three of these quotes to abstort, and rewrite the abstorted entry so that it's simply treated as a participle? 蒼鳥 _{fawk. tell me if i did anything wrong.} 16:43, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out there is no entry for abstort in the OED. — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

However, many other dictionaries have an entry for abstort, and I have managed to cite the verb. Kiwima (talk) 20:45, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Converted from an adjective to a verb. Does this resolve things? - -sche (discuss) 23:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
