Talk:decalcation

RFV discussion: August 2023–May 2024
Was tagged for speedy deletion as "No useful context, clearly an error". It's not an error - it was used by Cruickshank and Steuart to mean "treading or trampling of the earth", and Steuart explicitly admits coining the word, probably from. It is also used here in the context of estate law, but it seems unlikely to be meant in the same sense. There are also a few rare misspellings for.

 * The estate law one is a print error/catachresis for meaning embezzlement (the full paragraph can be read at Hathi, middle of column 2). —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 17:19, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

To clarify the situation here: there are two cites, which I have now added to Citations:decalcation, but a third independent cite is needed. This, that and the other (talk) 09:55, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
