only in really old dictionaries --Volants 18:59, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

This looks like a candidate for Appendix:English dictionary-only terms.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 13:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

It's certainly overrepresented in dictionaries, but there are also plenty of uses, e.g. [1][2][3][4][5][6]. —Ruakh_TALK 02:29, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I've cited the "act of eating" sense, which is also the sense found in dictionaries. I found only one intelligible cite where it seemed to mean "food", and then only figuratively; so we should probably RFV fail that sense. (We can move its cite up into the "act of eating" sense without too much harm, I think.) —Ruakh_TALK 15:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

RFV passed, RFV failed, per my previous comment. —Ruakh_TALK 17:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
