I can't find any quotations for sense 1 ("To decorate or improve in appearance through artificial means"), and it doesn't appear in the OED. — SMUconlaw (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. Google Books isn't allowing me to view the link, but I'll take your word for it. There seems to be some etymological connection between feague and fake (the OED says that our sense 4 of feague is the same as one of the senses of fake), but at the moment there still isn't sufficient evidence to show that this is also a sense for the word feague. — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:37, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
