   • 1939, Sir Edward Howard Marsh, A Number of People: A Book of Reminiscences, page 77:

     It has been rather surprising to discover, since I began to summon up remembrance of these long-past times, how much more enarrable Maurice is than my other contemporaries.

   • 2004, David Bentley Hart, The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth, page 159:

     But, one might ask, how can the temporal event of God in our midst be the same as God's event to himself in his eternity if so absolute a distinction is drawn between the enarrable contents of history and the "eternal dynamism" of God's immutability, apatheia, and perfect fullness?

   • 2015, Robert L. Caserio, Plot, Story, and the Novel:

     The "Renaissance" occurs wherever there are "no fixed parites, no exclusions" and apparently whenever there are no fixed enarrable outlines in theory or in life—when narrative reason is shown to be itself a limitation.
