 * I have found two cites of adjective usage another of use as a nominal with apparently the same meaning. DCDuring (talk) 00:36, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have used Google Books, Scholar, BHL, and my limited access to JSTOR. There are probably more in print and possibly more in online databases I don't have access to. DCDuring (talk) 00:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I found one more here; it's is a bit poetic, but... - -sche (discuss) 04:45, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It is hard to be sure of the meaning from any of the cites. It is only the definitions in other dictionaries and the etymology that make me comfortable with the definition - and that only because of the usage context for the biological definitions. The "poetic" one doesn't seem supportive of the definition. DCDuring (talk) 22:39, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think the poetic one is good enough to use; substituting in the definition works: "That I am curved downward to the soil and sedimentary rock", as if walking bent over like an old man or a child curious to see what's on the ground. - -sche (discuss) 00:37, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * OK. DCDuring (talk) 00:44, 3 March 2019 (UTC)


 * So, cited (two or three citations in the entry, one on the citations page). - -sche (discuss) 04:08, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
