RFV discussion: May–July 2023
Rfv-sense "(heraldry) A little bend." Plausible but I haven't been able to find this, only bendlet. - -sche (discuss) 00:49, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It seems to have come from here []. But it looks Middle English. Leasnam (talk) 02:50, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see; thanks for the link. Old imports from dictionaries that don't distinguish Middle and modern English strike again, ha. I changed rfv-sense to rfv of the whole entry, since I realize I can't find the fabric sense in modern English, either, so the whole thing can be moved to Middle English in a month; the Middle English Compendium/Dictionary has the cites for that ("narrow bandage" attested twice in a translation of Chauliac, "ornamental band or stripe" in Mannyng's Chronicle, the heraldic sense in one text, and one other sense, with quite impressive consistency in all but one being spelled bendel). - -sche (discuss) 15:19, 13 May 2023 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed as English, it's now a Middle English entry. - -sche (discuss) 19:49, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
