Talk:tharf

RFV discussion: October 2017–July 2018
I did some digging and found that the form tharf had fallen out of use sometime in the late Middle English period. Only the form thair - which I personally heard used in speech and used in speech myself - still survives. Me thinks that it should be consigned to the Middle English section of the Wiktionary.

 * I find no RFV tag in the entry. Which sense(s) were challenged? Kiwima (talk) 01:37, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Etymology one contains a Middle English form of the verb thair. The form tharf did not make it into Modern English, only the form thair still survives in the Northern dialects. Mountebank1 (talk) 01:08, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I found a couple of uses in a Modern Translation of the Mystery Plays Leasnam (talk) 18:27, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Would someone who knows more about Middle English than I do convert this entry to Middle English? Kiwima (talk) 21:04, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. Leasnam (talk) 18:38, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: Unleavened. The only definitely modern use I can find in EEBO is a 17th-century edition in Modern English of John Mandeville. There was also a Middle English use and a Scots use. This, that and the other (talk) 13:44, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
