Means "stink" (noun)

[edit]

This word also means "stink" (noun) but I'm not sure where to put it. Drapetomanic (talk) 14:27, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

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.

Rfv-sense: sigh. Not in OED. If kept, Swedish word should possibly be changed to stånka Zumbacool (talk) 22:09, 17 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

It's in the EDD ({{R:EDD|stank|v.4 and sb.4|730|noformat=1}}) with a couple example sentences, but I'm not sure if those are taken from published works. If you look up "stanked" on Google Books, you can find some hits related to cows, and EDD also has examples related to cows. The EDD explains that the term is used for cows sighing in pain, but it seems like "stank" is being used differently in the cattle-related quotations I found. Not clear if it can be cited outside of that particular context, but it would be good if possible. 98.170.164.88 04:06, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
