Rfv-sense: the top of a woman's torso. Ƿidsiþ 10:50, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I have not found any quotations supporting this sense; I tried strings like "over her mantle", "her mantle uncovered". I did find some odd descriptions of squid behavior, but this would seem to fail (sense removed). — Beobach 03:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
