Defined as an obsolete spelling of upon; this is attested in Middle English, but what about Modern English? — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 16:08, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

w:U gives the switch over to the modern u/v separation as mid-16th century, and I'm sure that there are plenty of cites between 1500 and 1550 of this word.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:33, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I've added one citation from 1602 and one from 1620. - -sche (discuss) 22:08, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd argue, like Prosfilaes, that this was clearly in widespread use. Any objection to closing the discussion? - -sche (discuss) 21:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Passed. - -sche (discuss) 06:29, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
