Middle English only? Pinch88 (talk) 23:49, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Probably, even in the Spenser book (1579 edition) it's glossed. All the other EEBO hits are variant spellings of allege. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 09:08, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * RFV failed Spenser quote to Citations Denazz (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

allege
"To lighten, diminish."

Adding this one here since it's also cited to Spenser and a Middle English citation. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 21:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * : Shouldn't this be rfv-sense? Chuck Entz (talk) 21:19, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * It's for an entire etymology, which I've seen the full RFV template used for fairly regularly, but since the etymology has one sense I suppose it doesn't matter, I can swap it. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 21:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * You should at least mention that it's only for Etymology 2, so people aren't wondering why this doesn't pass by virtue of clearly widespread use. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:30, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, have added the gloss at issue in case people were confused. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 21:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
