In Gulliver's Travels, PART II. A VOYAGE TO BROBDINGNAG., Chapter III, Swift writes of the queen of Brobdingnag "She would craunch the wing of a lark, bones and all, between her teeth, although it were nine times as large as that of a full-grown turkey; and put a bit of bread into her mouth as big as two twelve-penny loaves." I suggest using "She" to "teeth." 98.169.193.94 23:50, 17 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Done Done Thanks. Also glossed as "archaic" since this isn't a current word. Equinox 01:38, 18 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
