The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
This term exists in very early Middle English (a poem written during the late 1100s about Saint Katherine uses it in the lines "adweschde & adun weorp þe wiðerwine of helle") but GBooks shows exactly one attestation in Modern English, pretty clearly intended as an archaism.

- Adwesch is certainly obsolete, but it has another form, the more modern dialectal (but likely also now obsolete) adush (“to make fall or drop; fall headlong”), which we do not have an entry for yet, but I've already found one use. Leasnam (talk) 20:54, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Leasnam where did you find adush? I can't see it at all, not in OED, nor EDD, nor in GBooks, nor even raw Google results. This, that and the other (talk) 02:00, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
