Talk:latrate
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.
Seem to be dictionary-only terms. OED only has dictionary references which trace it back to Cockeram. But other than this, I couldn't find any uses on GBooks, Archive.org, and EEBO. My guess is that these are back-formations from latration and oblatration which do seem to exist (except elatration). lattermint (talk) 20:07, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Lattermint: I don't think elatrate and oblatrate are attestable, but I've cited latrate, which seems to have passed from the dictionary into occasional authentic usage. I added a note in the etymology per the OED about it apparently originating as a ghost word. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Latrate is passed, the other two still missing. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
RFV-passed latrate, RFV-failed the other two. The Cockeram text's 400th anniversary this year, it seems... This, that and the other (talk) 04:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
