I have created a new entry. It is very often used as a verb, but seemingly only in the forms "is roding" and "was roding". Not sure how to tag this. The en-verb template seems inelegant. Also not sure whether to reference the french verb rôder which seems sure to be the origin of the word.
- Actually the infinitive is rode and a new etymology should be added there. Example: "the fittest males can rode".[1] This page at Euskonews uses all of its forms (rode, rodes, roded, roding). I also found that A General Dictionary of Provincialisms (1840) has an entry for "rode".[2] You can find more if you Google "rode and woodcock" (without the quote marks). -Mike (talk) 17:41, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
