and nakedhandedly. I don't think three citations without the hyphen could be found... Equinox ◑ 00:40, 18 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I've added one more citation to nakedhanded, for a total of two. I can't find anything for nakedhandedly. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 00:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've added a third to nakedhanded, for the required total of three. Kiwima (talk) 22:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but there are problems with both of the citations you've added. The 1859 quotation, which can be found here, has a hyphen at a line break, so it is ambiguous between the spellings "nakedhanded" and "naked-handed". The 2010 quotation, which I assume you got from this website, does not seem to be durably archived. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 22:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The 1859 quotation appears without a hyphen here, which is where I found it. Kiwima (talk) 23:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * That site transcribes "FORTY-FOUR YEARS OF" as "FOUTT-POUE TEAES OP". I do not think it can be trusted regarding spelling. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I has about to second-guess Mr. G on his skepticism on the scan of Forty-four years ... hunter when I read that it has both naked handed and nakedhanded on the same page and also spells Knox both as Knoy and correctly. The scanning seems too unreliable.
 * The other citation clearly reads as written by a non-native speaker. The sentence containing nakedhanded is: "In this national park you can feel volcanic ember [should read "embers"] nakedhanded!" But that mistaken sentence is not alone. Many of the sentences have mistakes of number or awkward diction. I suspect that nakedhanded is a calque of a word in another language, presumably Spanish.

 * nakedhandedly fails RFV. With the one non-durable and the one problematic citation removed, nakedhanded has only two citations and also fails RFV. - -sche (discuss) 17:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
