 * As an aside, Century suggests a noun definition which seems like it's broader than ours, and such breadth seems to be supported by quotations referring to staffs and mariner's tools having transversaries, not just doors or masts. - -sche (discuss) 17:08, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I've modified our noun definition. It's also not obsolete, but perhaps historical. - -sche (discuss) 21:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * I found two citations of the RFVed sense: Citations:transversary. (They also suggest that "obsolete" is too strong a word. "Dated" and/or "uncommon", maybe.) - -sche (discuss) 17:14, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
 * And I added a third. This is cited. Kiwima (talk) 00:02, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems moderately abundant in medical contexts (mostly skeletal) at Google Scholar, neither dated nor uncommon. DCDuring (talk) 09:20, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd say this passes, then (although I suppose we should wait a week). - -sche (discuss) 01:53, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
