Talk:ybound

RFV discussion: October–November 2019
I would be very surprised if this isn't obsolete or long archaic. Our one attestation is from the late 1500s, and is Spenserian. Tharthan (talk) 21:27, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * QQ turns up a quote from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and "GAVIN DOUGLAS' ENEADOS: "TO VIRGILLIS TEXT YBOUND"", but that needs a clear quote, and is generally considered Scots. Should be citable as Middle English, but is early Modern English or Scots at best.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:58, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The Concise Scots Dictionary lists ybond, referring you to 'bind', but you can try the DSL website. DonnanZ (talk) 09:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Finding cites in modern English is not a problem, and I have added several, but I am not sure about the distinction between the adjective and the past participle of bind. I am somewhat inclined to call them all the past participle. Kiwima (talk) 22:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
