Our entry is from 1913 Webster. It said "(Min.) See cittern", which I have changed to our format. But what is (deprecated template usage) cittern, and can this spelling of it — whatever it is — be attested? Equinox ◑ 21:49, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hm, it seems to be another form of (deprecated template usage) zither (so (Min.) cannot, as I thought, have meant mineralogy). Equinox ◑ 21:51, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
- Closing. Was nominated by mistake because of supposed mineralogy gloss. (The musical instrument sense looks attestable in Google Books.) Equinox ◑ 16:51, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
