Talk:embarge

embarge
The OED has quite a different definition (to lay an embargo, or to sequestrate etc). SemperBlotto 08:16, 7 December 2007 (UTC)


 * From g.b.c. it also means (1) to get on a barge, in parallel to getting on a bark (?) "embark", at least in the 19th C. It also means (2) embargo. It is also used as a synonym for (3) embark. In g.b.c., restricting the search to fiction yielded 1 invisible hit and 1 non-English hit. Similarly meager results for drama. The sense given should appear in such works if it is real and older. I found one hit on groups for embarging in on a conversation. Why not make this rfv-sense, check the etymology, and get the 3 correct senses in? DCDuring 12:45, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Aboves'd executed except: general sense of embark is questionable. 2 other senses now entered with one quote each. Support for embargo sense is plentiful. Other sense has a different etymology and appears rare, though it is likely to meet RfV. No support for rfv'd senses. DCDuring 20:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I cannot find the book cited for the disputed senses: 1990, Ekaterina Sin, Upon Golden Fields, page 105, on Amazon or Google. I will try LoC and OCLC. DCDuring 23:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
