The references are very confusing. A better formatter than I is needed, I'm afraid. Ben 10:51, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

cast (2)

Rfv-sense: horse unable to rise without assistance (noun). I can only find participial uses: "cast horse", "horse is cast", etc. We probably need a better verb sense to cater for this usage. This, that and the other (talk) 08:42, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

cast

"A broadcast." (Radio, TV, online stream?) I have seen it only in derived terms like "vodcast". Equinox ◑ 20:22, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

I assume it means stuff like this. I was expecting a fairly common nominalisation of cast verb sense 16 (the def of which I just edited to be more specific), but I am really surprised how difficult it is to find. This, that and the other (talk) 07:46, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

cast (3)

Rfv-sense: "To cause (a horse or other large animal) to lie down with its legs underneath it.". This is silly; nobody ever "casts a horse", the horses do it to themselves. I added a noncomparable adjective sense to cover this; I don't believe this "active" verb sense is ever used. This, that and the other (talk) 04:58, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
