unbay

I found some uses of the verb, but I'm not sure if any refers to the same meaning: "Unbought, unbid, unbayed by Fate", "In haste took place, and at each furious stroke / Unbayed the fountains of their blood", "The youth, with forceful arm, unbay'd by foam,", "That it was dangerous in tyme of Winter to unbay our/selves so deepelie", "we ought ... to unbay all the Stream and Current of our Paffions (likely a version of John Norris quote)".

P.S.: the "unbay our/selves" quote has a footnote where "to unbay" is given the meaning of "to sail out of bay". [Saviourofthe] ୨୧ 23:12, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
