RFD discussion: December 2020–July 2021
I can't find anoþer or another in Middle English Compendium, does the word exist?


 * Usually we present a term whose existence is in question first at Requests for verification. Although this univerbation is not listed in the MEC, it is easily attested:, , . --Lambiam 16:19, 25 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep, per Lambiam. It's attested. It's a word. &mdash; Dentonius 10:51, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree this is for RFV rather than RFD. I don't find the links compelling (Google won't show me the first, the second has the spaced version making the single unspaced instance a rare typo, and the third like the second is a modern edition quoting old text).  But both OED and MED do recognize the unspaced version, so I would keep at RFV.  MED has a supporting citation for another under : "c1300 (?c1225) Horn (Cmb Gg.4.27) 33/578: He schal haue another [ring]."  By convention we use th as the standard form so I redefined anoþer as an alternative spelling.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 14:34, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Most uses in the second link are unspaced, but the spaced ones have a noþer, not an oþer. --Lambiam 10:40, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I created as the main entry.  If anoþer is deleted probably another should be too.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 14:39, 26 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep, maybe move to WT:RFVN. --幽霊四 (talk) 00:14, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * RFD-kept. Imetsia (talk) 18:22, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
