Not in the OED. Nothing English on Google books. SemperBlotto 13:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Not surprising, it is a nearly obsolete term – I’ll see if I can find a good reference for you. Sg647112c 13:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If need be, please move this page to my sandbox rather than deleting it, so that I don’t have to rewrite it once I find a proper reference. Thanks!  Sg647112c 14:02, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The OED has two close relations, but spelt  and  ; you may have more luck searching for *.  — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 18:49, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I do not have a subscription to the OED, but both words that you reference seem to have the same root in the Latin verb perlegere (or its altern. form pellegere). From what I've looked up, perlegate is a verb meaning "to read through" and perlection is a noun describing the action of reading through - pellegenda (or perlegenda, as you suggest) is a noun describing that which is to be read through. Sg647112c 14:51, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


 * The OED has perlegate (rare and obsolete with one cite from 1593), and perlection (rare, but with cites from 1485 to 1990), but no pellegenda or perlegenda, and the full OED specialises in obsolete words. It does occasionally miss words of course, but they are likely to be very rare and thus might not meet our CFI.  Can you find three cites?    D b f  i  r  s   16:06, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
