[edit]

Hi, could sb. please check what region(s), or dialects it's meant? Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:04, 2 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

"All" as in for all I know

[edit]

For aught I know, it may be true --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:25, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Aught (= [1] anything; or [2] all) is an archaism in rapid decline --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

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.


Does this noun (etymology 4!) really exist? The verb is ok, although it might better be defined as simply an alternate form of ought. What about the adjective? I can't find that in the OED either.—Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 00:18, 3 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
