Talk:espeier

Definition inconsistency
Currently this is listed as an alternative form of 'espier' meaning 'to watch' as defined there. However, espeier is linked to from spayen. Specifically, the entry is:
 * From the, equivalent to the 🇨🇬, from , whence the Modern 🇨🇬.

This lead me to believe that the etymology of espeier was related to swords rather than watching. Are one of these entries mistaken, are they both correct? Currently I think anyone researching the etymological roots would be confused as I am. Dictabeard 20:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Old French spelling is very inconsistent, therefore two words with identical spellings can have different meanings. The 'cut with a sword' meaning just needs some sort of citation. Mglovesfun (talk) 08:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
