Talk:abatelement

RFV discussion: May–July 2023
Rfv-sense "heraldry: an abatement". Searching for it + likely heraldic words finds only a mention in Pimbley's 1908 Dictionary of Heraldry (which does both spell it with -le- and give the pronunciation with -le-, so it isn't a typo, though seemingly a mistake). Beyond that, all I see are cases where other dictionaries mention heraldic abatement alphabetically adjacent to defining abatelement as something different, "a process adopted in the East, which deprives merchants of the right of trading when they repudiate their bargains or refuse to liquidate their obligations." (Often the practice and/or merchants are specified as French and the "East" is specified as the Middle East.) - -sche (discuss) 02:15, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * RFV-failed; seems to have been an erroneous assignment by Pimbley's dictionary of the heraldic sense to abatelement when it properly belongs to the adjacent word abatement. (In turn, I can't immediately find English cites of abatelement-the-French-practice so I'm not able to add that.) - -sche (discuss) 18:07, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
