 * , I genuinely I have no idea what this means. Related to French or ? Mglovesfun (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
 * And predictably now, I can't remember where I found it... Renard Migrant (talk) 17:36, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

H

 * , http://cnrtl.fr/definition/ortolan mentions it but not which meaning, and somewhat surprisingly, I can't track it down! It appears in glossaries but I can't track down the original sentence that Rabelais used it in. Le Quart Livre (as referenced in the link) is available online too. Godefroy doesn't have it (it has a 1611 citation in English). Help. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:34, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

L

 * — Blue-linked because of terms in several languages; needs Middle French.
 * Why is it needed? Yes could be a form of or Godefroy has many definitions, such as "place to stay" (modern French ). Renard Migrant (talk) 17:35, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

M

 * — Has Modern French; needs Middle French.
 * as acute accents on anything but a final e (or -ee) come in a bit later, like 1650. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * http://cnrtl.fr/definition/m%C3%A9thode confirms it was methode until 1740. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:56, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, méthode is probably older than 1470 but the Dictionnaire de l'Académie Française only recognised it in 1740. 1740 is probably when méthode surpassed methode as the standard form. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:44, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

P

 * , not "pastime" in the modern sense, anyway. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:47, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh actually it is, but I've seen it to mean something else, too. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:43, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * — Has Modern French; needs its Middle French etymon.
 * Almost certainly not the etymon. There is a single Middle French citation of progressif, TLFi and FEW both have the 1372 citation from Corbichon and then 1671 as the next citation. The 1671 author presumably wasn't borrowing it from the single usage in 1372 but borrowed the word directly from Latin. Renard Migrant (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

S

 * , "Mais de cecy j’en ay parlé ailleurs. Au demeurant, en toute une bataille où dix mill’hommes sont stropiez ou tuez" (Essais, Montaigne). Mglovesfun (talk) 10:52, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've now tried things like and I still haven't found it. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:10, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's definitely http://www.cnrtl.fr/etymologie/estropier. 2.30.98.235 15:33, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

T

 * , Godefroy gives it, but with no meaning that could related to a person, as in "le tacon craint", must be a person or much less likely, an animal or deity. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:48, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * - aunt?
