In original common law criminal law, dismemberment
Updated legal definition edit
From California penal code section 203:
- Every person who unlawfully and maliciously deprives a human being of a member of his body, or disables, disfigures, or renders it useless, or cuts or disables the tongue, or puts out an eye, or slits the nose, ear, or lip, is guilty of mayhem.
Should this (or a summary of it) be included? Kevink707 (talk) 19:33, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

This is plausible, but I'm unfortunately unable find a reference for it. Wikipedia's article seems to have been set up to push users to Wiktionary because Wikipedia didn't have a reference, either. - -sche (discuss) 16:40, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
posttonic /h/ edit
Is this a word with posttonic /h/, or are there people who don't pronounce it? I've never pronounced the /h/ in this word, but now that I think of it, Im probably in the minority, and maybe even nonstandard. —Soap— 00:16, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
