The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


  1. (intransitive) To expire, to come to an end.
  2. (Should we delete(+) this sense?) (intransitive) Of a legal right, to expire, to terminate.

I see no semantic distinction of any kind between theses senses. DCDuring TALK 11:55, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

No difference. The translations were for sense 2 (To expire, to come to an end) but the translation gloss matched the "legal", changed the translation gloss to match sense 2, added Russian. Delete sense. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 11:42, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Baseball sense

edit

Webster 1913 has a baseball sense: "To put out while running between two bases." This might be dated, and it might be similar to the cricket sense we have already. Equinox 19:35, 22 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
