Talk:latrate

RFV discussion: July–October 2023
Seem to be dictionary-only terms. OED only has dictionary references which trace it back to Cockeram. But other than this, I couldn't find any uses on GBooks, Archive.org, and EEBO. My guess is that these are back-formations from latration and oblatration which do seem to exist (except elatration). lattermint (talk) 20:07, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think elatrate and oblatrate are attestable, but I've cited latrate, which seems to have passed from the dictionary into occasional authentic usage. I added a note in the etymology per the OED about it apparently originating as a ghost word. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Latrate is passed, the other two still missing. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

RFV-passed latrate, RFV-failed the other two. The Cockeram text's 400th anniversary this year, it seems... This, that and the other (talk) 04:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
