Talk:winge

Greetings, Wikitionary users. I was using BabelNet and when I entered 'winge' that was interpreted as 'cringe'. That made no sense to me, so I tracked down the rationale to this Wikitionary page where the Middle English reference appeared first.

I'm not even sure that the 'cringe' reference should stay at all, but am not a lexicographer. Just looking, it appears that maybe 'winge' could have meant 'wing' then, but I'm no Middle-English expert. If you are then I'll leave it to you whether it makes sense to leave in the second definition. I suspect it should be deleted. Veritas Aeterna (talk) 20:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey Veritas Aeterna! Whenever you have doubts about a term's existence, press edit, add en at the start of the sense in question (after the # and before the definition), save it and then press the little (+) in what you've just added. That way, it tells us to collect sources and make sure it exists! &mdash; Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 20:52, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, will do in the future. First time I've noticed anything amiss in Wiktionary. Thanks for the explanation! Veritas Aeterna (talk) 20:42, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
