RFV discussion: January–October 2016

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

gainbirth

Some kind of Anglo-Saxonism; a Google Books search finds it mentioned as a word used by one specific writer somewhere (where?). Nonce word I suspect. Equinox ◑ 23:44, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Sir John Cheke ! Leasnam (talk) 23:53, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

I can find lots of references to Sir John Cheke's translation of the bible. The only other use I can find is this [patent], but that looks like a different meaning. Kiwima (talk) 00:37, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

• RFV failed. Excluding the patent, which seems to have a different meaning, we only have citations from two authors at best. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 14:32, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Third Citation

I've just added a third cite from 2017, which allows the entry to be restored. Leasnam (talk) 21:05, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
