 * The English Dialect Dictionary has half a dozen citations under their entry for, but in a divergent array of senses and spellings (if we were willing to play fast and loose with spelling, there might be enough to attested "to plant a hedge (around)" as a sense), and not these senses / not even this etymology, it looks like. - -sche (discuss) 18:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

I added what I could find to the citations page. We now have enough for "to enclose or fence in". There are a number of other meanings, but all with only one or two cites. Kiwima (talk) 04:15, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
