Does this word even exist?[edit]

A Google search for the term harnass returns only this article in top results (other top results aren't about harnesses or harnessing), and the meta-dictionary Onelook.com also only ever encounters the word harnass in this article (but it doesn't appear in the definition of any word, most especially not the word harness, in any other dictionary than Wiktionary).

Google searches for the word harnassing do turn up some results, usually in the phrase "harnassing the power of...". But it doesn't seem like any dictionary lists harnass or harnassing anywhere. So... does this word exist?

Seems to be an old spelling, mostly pre-1900. Check Google Books. Equinox 20:59, 9 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
