Rfv-sense 'blessing of unicorns'. Nadando 16:09, 18 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

The cites that I can find are either quotes of Wikipedia or seem to go back to just one source. Since unicorn(s) are loners, should a collective noun exist? Dbfirs 12:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

blessing of unicorns edit

Here are three cites to usages of "blessing" in the sense of "a grouping of unicorns". [1]; [2]; and [3]. I believe these qualify this sense of "blessing" under Wiktionary attestation category 4. Yes? Dohn joe 18:58, 20 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

I added the sense back to the mainpage, with quotes. Dohn joe 22:07, 22 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

We have eight senses, compared to MWOnline's four. None of ours are fully attested. I am reasonably confident that some senses are badly worded, wrong, and/or overlapping. DCDuring TALK 16:50, 14 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Also, in the Christian sense (and probably other religions too) you can be receive a blessing from a vicar, priest, minister, etc. It seems to me we have nothing to cover that sense. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:35, 16 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
