I see no usage. The OED has one quotation from around 1300. Maybe under a different spelling? DTLHS (talk) 01:01, 29 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I also could find none, not for any conjugated forms (e.g. forgraithest, forgraithedst, forgraitheth, etc.), nor for possible alternative spellings (foregraith, forgreith, forgraithe, foregreith, etc.)...I can't even find where I would have gotten this word from (but I swear to G** I didn't make it up) :\ Leasnam (talk) 13:33, 29 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Here's the quotation that the OED cites. DTLHS (talk) 00:59, 30 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
Suggest converting to Middle English. — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:08, 1 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

@DTLHS, Leasnam: OK, I converted forgraithing to Middle English, and created forgreithen (as the MED has this as the lemma) and made forgraith an alternative form of it. Please check if I did this correctly. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:33, 18 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
Looks good! Leasnam (talk) 23:23, 18 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
