Etymology 1: fortification, drawbridge. DTLHS (talk) 20:04, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * NED says it is an obsolete form of but gives no quotations. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 20:23, 17 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I have added it as an alt form of, and cited that. I can find many dictionary mentions of the gate (but no uses). As the gate (and the drawbridge presumably) operates as a bascule, I suspect that these definitions are overly precise meanings for an alt form of bascule.
