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.
Can't find this in English. DTLHS (talk) 00:26, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

- This word is also an older variant of a Scottish word, knewel which means "wooden [cross]pin at the end of a halter for holding by, securing toggle passing through the ring of a tethering rope or chain". The Dutch word meaning "moustache" is apparently a special adaptation of this in the sense of "handlebar" (short for knevelbaard) Leasnam (talk) 19:20, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
