Talk:coorne

RFV discussion: November 2016–May 2017
the whole entry. everything. Leasnam (talk) 01:46, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I did a substantial amount of pruning. The contributor basically copied just about everything verbatim from crown, then changed all the instances of "crown" to "coorne"- even in the quotes. If this exists in English (as opposed to Middle English), it's just an obsolete form of crown, so I got rid of almost everything else. I'm not sure what to do with the pronunciation section, since that wasn't copied from crown, but the pronunciations seem odd for an English term. Chuck Entz (talk) 04:55, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, especially in regard to the first pronunciation given. I don't think it was ever pronounced that way. Leasnam (talk) 04:59, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The OED has one quotation that uses it, but under the entry for corn (in the sense of callus). DTLHS (talk) 05:04, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * There's also a use of it in Tyndale's bible translation, but, there again, meaning corn (as in grain). Chuck Entz (talk) 05:30, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Initially, I wasn't able to find anything correct, true, or factual about this entry...looks to be nothing more than a well-crafted Leasnam (talk) 05:32, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw something besides Tyndale that raises the possibility of attesting that this was an EME spelling of corn ("grain"). DCDuring TALK 15:07, 8 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The "crown" sense fails RFV; the "corn" sense still needs citations because it's not obvious that there are three modern English citations. Scannos, Middle English and a homographic last name and terms in other languages make it hard to search for. - -sche (discuss) 09:34, 18 March 2017 (UTC)
