nakedhanded

and nakedhandedly. I don't think three citations without the hyphen could be found... Equinox ◑ 00:40, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

• I've added one more citation to nakedhanded, for a total of two. I can't find anything for nakedhandedly. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 00:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
• I've added a third to nakedhanded, for the required total of three. Kiwima (talk) 22:22, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but there are problems with both of the citations you've added. The 1859 quotation, which can be found here, has a hyphen at a line break, so it is ambiguous between the spellings "nakedhanded" and "naked-handed". The 2010 quotation, which I assume you got from this website, does not seem to be durably archived. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 22:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

The 1859 quotation appears without a hyphen here, which is where I found it. Kiwima (talk) 23:24, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

That site transcribes "FORTY-FOUR YEARS OF" as "FOUTT-POUE TEAES OP". I do not think it can be trusted regarding spelling. —Mr. Granger (talk • contribs) 23:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

I has about to second-guess Mr. G on his skepticism on the scan of Forty-four years ... hunter when I read that it has both naked handed and nakedhanded on the same page and also spells Knox both as Knoy and correctly. The scanning seems too unreliable.

The other citation clearly reads as written by a non-native speaker. The sentence containing nakedhanded is: "In this national park you can feel volcanic ember [should read "embers"] nakedhanded!" But that mistaken sentence is not alone. Many of the sentences have mistakes of number or awkward diction. I suspect that nakedhanded is a calque of a word in another language, presumably Spanish.

nakedhandedly fails RFV. With the one non-durable and the one problematic citation removed, nakedhanded has only two citations and also fails RFV. - -sche (discuss) 17:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
