RFV discussion: November 2018–May 2019[edit]

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.


Dutch, Rfv-sense of "salvo, reservation" (probably also "excuse"). Unfamiliar to me, not easily found on Google Books and not present in dictionaries, so RFVing just to be sure. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 12:42, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
