RfV for the only sense, = háček, caron. It has been listed as a synonym in our entry for (deprecated template usage) háček since I added it in December 2007, when I added it from the list of alternative names given in w:Caron (the suspect (deprecated template usage) inverted hat and the legitimate (deprecated template usage) inverted circumflex were both added by Gene Nygaard on April Fools' Day 2006); I just now created this entry, so as to open this verification request for it. I could find nothing of relevance in the first ten pages of results returned by google books:"inverted hat". — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 01:10, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've added one of the only two relevant cites I could find on b.g.c. (The other one, b.g.c. wouldn't show me the snippet I needed; and anyway, it was by the same author, so no help.) —RuakhTALK 18:10, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the find. Do you think this is attestable? — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 20:52, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- It's used on Usenet, which counts, right? Phol 22:09, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, Usenet counts. Your 1995/iv/30 quot. seems to use the term in the right sense, but the author of your 1997/x/1 quot. is talking about the pronunciatory transcription ēvăngĕʹlĭcal (-nj-) for evangelical and means breve. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 04:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Since I've exhausted Usenet to bring the number of supporting quotations for (deprecated template usage) inverted hat to twelve (one is duplicated), I imagine that no one will object to my marking this RFV passed. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 07:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
