The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Seems to be absent from ModE; I couldn't find anything. Hazarasp (parlement · werkis) 02:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Most of what I found was Middle English. I did find one piece of dialect (on citations page). There may be more, but there are a lot of false positives to sift through. Kiwima (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- The English Dialect Dictionary considers maun the main spelling (saying the spelling moun is from northwest Yorkshire), and provides enough citations that maun would pass (Citations:maun). If moun isn't attested, the entry/content should be moved. In that case the definition and etymology should also be tweaked, the immediate etymon [of maun] is presumably the form Middle English mau(e)n of mowen. - -sche (discuss) 00:32, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
- I've created an entry at maun using the citations I found. I copied over the etymology, modified as I suggested; in the even moun actually passes and is not deleted, one of the entries should just point to the other to reduce duplication. - -sche (discuss) 01:30, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
RFV-failed. Only the one citation that I found. Kiwima (talk) 21:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
