RFV discussion: February–July 2015

[edit]

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.


Rfv-senses (3)

  1. (intransitive) To cut off, detach or separate something
  2. (intransitive) To think about multiple things individually
  3. (intransitive) To stop thinking about something

I have added two senses that I could understand that seem to fit both other dictionaries' definitions and the usage I found. But there is some, sparse usage that I can't make much sense of. Perhaps these senses fit that usage. DCDuring TALK 16:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
