RFV discussion: September 2015–February 2016
Is there such verb? No uses in literature. Yurivict (talk) 09:28, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * There was, in Middle English. Our entry seems to be a carbon copy (and copyvio) of the OED entry, which gives:
 * ?c1225 (▸?a1200)    Ancrene Riwle (Cleo. C.vi) (1972) 247   Þe wrecche best selden ed stertet.
 * c1275 (▸?a1200)    Laȝamon Brut (Calig.) (1963) l. 2128   He æt-sturte [c1300 Otho a-steorte] in-to are burie.
 * c1220  Legend St. Katherine 699   Tu schalt sone atstirten [v.r. etsterten] al þe strengðe of þis strif.
 * ?c1225 (▸?a1200)    Ancrene Riwle (Cleo. C.vi) (1972) 273   We þolieð saule uuel forto edsterte flesches uuel. Vorziblix (talk) 17:43, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe we normalize this as with the final  suffix. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:54, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks, I replaced obsolete with archaic, and removed the rvf tag. Yurivict (talk) 23:52, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Not a copyvio; the early parts of the OED are in the public domain, in the US and as far as I can tell in the UK as well.--Prosfilaes (talk) 06:13, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I have readded RFV tag to the entry since this is not cited in modern English, only in Middle English, right? We seem to treat Middle English as a separate language; see e.g. WT:AENM, example entry forbus, and Category:Middle English lemmas. In order for atstert to be kept as English rather than as Middle English, we need appropriate quotations, right? A quick look at Category:Middle English verbs suggests Renard is right to point out atsterten would be the lemma for Middle English. Does the creator User:Leasnam have quotations showing use other than Middle English? --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:24, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Here is the OED scan: https://archive.org/stream/oed01arch#page/542/mode/1up --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:32, 5 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Converted to Middle English and moved to atsterten. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
