 * Perhaps someone was thinking of Chaucer's usage of "woot", meaning "knew"? The modern meaning is not in the full Oxford dictionary, though they probably have it in their database awaiting a decision on whether it will become an accepted word.  (Not that Oxford's decisions should dictate ours, of course.)  I've never heard this UK sense in the UK.  Is it just a misunderstanding?    D b f  i  r  s   20:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Would like to speedy delete the Middle English. Only English definition I am sure of is #1. #2 seems like utter tosh, #3 I have never heard of; what context is it used in, a legal context or what? Mglovesfun (talk) 00:22, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the Middle English infinitive of (which we lack) so when we have it, if I'm right of course, this should be turned into a verb form. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
