RFV discussion: February–March 2023
Sense 1: "A measure by the ell." Bit baffled by what this definition means and all the uses I could find refer to sense 2, a cloth inspector. Samuel Johnson's dictionary does define it as a "measurer by the ell", but he's also talking about the cloth inspector, who measured cloths to make sure they were the right dimensions. Added by ages ago. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 11:51, 20 February 2023 (UTC)


 * This came from an old dictionary (Webster or Imperial); I found it in Google Books and it says "a measurer by the ell", so this is a typo I made apparently. Equinox ◑ 18:56, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
