"To punish as though one were using a stick, bundle of twigs, or rod made of birch wood" (but not actually using those things). Couldn't find in Google Books, looking for "birched him with..." etc. Equinox ◑ 15:01, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- Cambridge has a def. for birch#Noun "a bundle of thin sticks". That def. would allow the defs. for beating with birch and non-birch sticks to be combined and obviate the need for an RfV. DCDuring (talk) 15:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
