Talk:reaf

RFV discussion: February–March 2015
I managed to cite reif and rief (in both English and Scots), and reave and reive, but I can't find evidence of this except as an obsolete spelling of (coral) reef. Even The English Dialect Dictionary has no citations of this form, and Century, although it lemmatizes reaf, says "Usually in Sc. spelling reif, rief", which sounds suspiciously like Webster's use of "usually" to mean "always". It's not the first entry I've found that seems to have more sense-lines than there are citations of it. - -sche (discuss) 06:18, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
