C

 * 1)   - best I can find is  in Rabelais, apparently meaning 'excessive drinking' (the citation it appears in is very short and therefore ambiguous). Renard Migrant (talk) 20:42, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * 2)   - Google Books has for some reason started to let me down. I cited it as Old French, albeit late Old French. Renard Migrant (talk) 00:52, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
