"(UK, dialect, Cornwall, dated) A forge used for smelting tin". All I can find are a few mentions. The OED suggests it may be or have originated as a local pronunciation of forge. - -sche (discuss) 07:23, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- Without speaking to its attestability, it is a plausible pronunciation spelling for Cornwall - particularly if you go back a few decades or more. Theknightwho (talk) 21:35, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
- This doesn't seem to be English, but it has the word in running text. I wonder if the existence of the word in a Cornish-language text has resulted in dictionaries giving it as a "Cornish" word for forge with the mistaken assumption that it's Cornish English.
