Rfv-sense "with you". Eminently plausible, but I'm not seeing it.​—msh210 (talk) 18:38, 9 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I tried the collocations "go(ing) witcher", "talk(ing) witcher", "come witcher" and "coming witcher" and I found no relevant quotations. I tried "do witcher", but did not sieve the many quotations of "dowitcher". - -sche 06:47, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
One hit with "I'm witcher". — Pingkudimmi 09:57, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Shouldn't this be alternative form of witcha, if it is even attestable? DCDuring TALK 13:32, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
And another; "on witcher". (Although this is actually "with your.") — Pingkudimmi 15:51, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Damned facts. I suppose, both witcher and witcha could be either "with your" or "with you", but I'd guess more often "with you" for witcha and "with your" for witcher. DCDuring TALK 17:12, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've added an Etymology section for "with your", with cites. DCDuring TALK 19:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
And an instance of a contraction of "which are". — Pingkudimmi 03:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
"With your" passes (it was indeed never tagged), "with you" fails. - -sche (discuss) 18:07, 18 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
