Reopening this, because I can find a variety of cites. In particular, if we view either of these cites of inn ("A firie beam, And pleasing heat (such as in first of Spring From Sol, inn'd in the Bull)", and "In a poor cottage inn'd, a virgin maid, A weakling did him bear") as using the transitive "lodge (someone)" sense rather than the intransitive "take lodging" sense, then the transitive sense is cited. The OED has even a third sense, relating to coaches, with various cites. - -sche (discuss) 05:51, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Cited (in the entry and on the cites page)? (It hinges on whether at least one of the cites I mentioned above can be viewed as "(transitive) to lodge", vs "(intransitive) to take lodging".) - -sche (discuss) 22:43, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
