RFV discussion: June–October 2017
All I can find are a handful of copies of the same few books mentioning the term, and no uses. Remember to fix the link in son-in-law if this is deleted. - -sche (discuss) 17:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

The only use I find is in the Exmoor Scolding, in a dialogue between Thomasin (T) and Wilmot (W) which has been reprinted in a number of places including The Gentleman's Magazine and Dialect, Proverbs and Word-Lore. - -sche (discuss) 17:11, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

It appears in a lot of word lists, and I have added the citation that they all refer to, but that is only one. Kiwima (talk) 22:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Are these attested? Compare the others above (zinnila, zewnteen). - -sche (discuss) 18:32, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

RFV-failed --Exmoor dialect is just not common enough in permanently archived sources. Kiwima (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Well, maybe (some) English dialects should be treated as separate languages just like it's done with German dialects (WT:About Bavarian, WT:About Gottscheerish, WT:About Transylvanian Saxon, WT:About Luxembourgish and several others, some probably without about page yet). Then Exmoor wordlists could be added as allowed sources (WT:CFI), and then the entries maybe could be restored. It's strange that English wiktionary treats foreign dialects in a better way than English dialects... -84.161.20.16 20:33, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
