The quotation cited is from 1431, which is before the circa-1470 Middle-English–Early-Modern-English boundary, making it invalid as a citation of an English word. † ﴾(u):Raifʻhār (t):Doremítzwr﴿ 14:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
- Why not just change the L2 header to Middle English, even if there is usage in something printed post-1500? There are probably many English "obsolete spelling" entries that would probably benefit from such a change, even if they are all in Roman characters. DCDuring TALK 17:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
RFV failed, English section removed. The 1533 purports to be Scots rather than English (unless by "Scots" is here meant "Scottish English"? I don't know anything about the topic, so can't judge); the cover title use I can't see, but DCDuring's statement seems likely; and I wouldn't consider the Groups cite valid, since it is only using the spelling in the context of proposing that people use the spelling. It's one thing to have three cites, of which one is a bit problematic, but three problematic cites really seems like too much. —RuakhTALK 17:04, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
