Talk:erf

I am wondering how the example of use fit the "Noun" part: Noun erf (plural erfs) (Northern England, Scotland, rare) Inheritance; patrimony. →   Son, you will have this farm to erf.

I am not a native English speaker, but it seems to me that in the given sentence "to erf" is a verb (infinitive), similar to "you will have this farm to use" or "you will have this farm to own".


 * It might, but no, not necessarily. "To" can be used with a meaning close to "as". So it's like saying "You will have this farm as erf", that is "as inheritence". 89.14.33.48 23:01, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
