Talk:exaltate

RFV discussion: August 2022–February 2023
"(obsolete, astrology, of a planet) Exercising its highest influence.". As the quotation in Webster indicates, this occurs in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, which is written in Middle English. Different manuscripts spell it as either exaltat or exaltate. MED even gives two other works that use this word. However, all the modern English uses I've found so far were for a different sense, apparently using it as a verb meaning something like "to exalt":,. 24.137.99.97 03:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)


 * It might have been used more broadly in Middle English than just in astrology. For example, wrote "Every man willethe to ben exaltate", and there's another use in an Arthurian context that I admittedly don't understand. 24.137.99.97 03:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
