cuvette

Sense 2 ?? Algrif 16:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm almost certain it's used in that way in Tristram Shandy, when Uncle Toby is talking about his fortifications. Widsith 10:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

A definition would be nice. The link goes to a French word! Algrif 13:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

English section added to cunette. Widsith 13:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Fine. But I still can't find any examples of cuvette with that meaning. Algrif 16:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

That's one. I'm not denying that it could be correct, It's just the lack of supporting citations. One quote. Any others? Anything in any dictionaries? Algrif 16:45, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Sine Tristram Shandy is "a well-known work", the one citation is sufficient under WT:CFI. However, if this is the only citation we find, we might mention that specifically in a usage note, since that could be a typo/scanno. --EncycloPetey 18:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Don't think so, he calls it that all the way through the book. I will do some more searches, I expect it can be found in otehr works too. Bit of a nightmare to search for though.. Widsith 11:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
