Chaucer and "chivachye"

I responded to responded to a previously existing request to add a quotation from Chaucer with the use of the spelling "chivachye" in the prologue to the Canterbury Tales, but I realize that that's not quite the spelling this page is about, and, as this page is about a variant of a word, that may not be appropriate.

1. • 1478, Geoffrey Chaucer, Canterbury Tales, Prologue, 85-8,

     And he had been somtyme in chivachye, / In Flaundres, in Artoys, and Picardye, / And born him wel, as of so litel space, / In hope to stonden in his lady grace.DubleH (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I decided to get rid of this and add a new page for chivachye, which I then added this to. Also, I forgot to sign my previous post until just now.DubleH (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I've now removed the request for a quotation from Chaucer, since Chaucer wrote in Middle English, and this entry is considered to be for English.DubleH (talk) 03:52, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

“appears to be Middle and not Modern English (Chaucer), and the reference only mentions Chaucer as well”

Not surprisingly, most of what I find is Chaucer (Canterbury tales). I did find some other quotes, which I added to the citations page. The 1883 cite is a solid use, but it seems to imply a different meaning. The 1893 is somewhat mention-y. The 1972 looks pretty solid to me. The 1998 is a modern version of a 15th century work, so I don't think it counts. Kiwima (talk) 21:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
