dampne

If this is found only in Chaucer, shouldn't it have a Middle English header? Either way it needs citations for English, Middle English, or both. --WikiTiki89 16:45, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

It's pretty easy to cite. It's not so easy to tell when it died out and got replaced by damne/damn because a lot of the later attestations of dampne are just citing older works such as Chaucer. But it seems to be unambiguously citable until about 1550. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:21, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

We already have the Middle English at dampnen. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:25, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Ok, what through me off was the request for a Chaucer quotation. I still think it needs citing as a Modern English word. --WikiTiki89 17:30, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Well oddly enough WT:CFI doesn't say the citations have to be in the entry, just three durably archived citations. Basically, there are plenty of citations just I can't be bothered to type them up. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:44, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

It would help if you pointed us to them. Maybe give us a link or name an author? --WikiTiki89 00:04, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Looks good. For future reference the dates of those are 1547 and 1535 respectively. --WikiTiki89 17:36, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Cited. I couldn’t find the dates of two of the citations, but one of them is by someone born after 1500, and the other is by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who became archbishop after 1500. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 22:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
