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.

British cant for a hole. The OED has only one citation of use, where a short staff has a hole in its head, but the term is apparently also mentioned in Randle Holme's Academy of Armory, where it's defined as "hole, cave, or hiding place". All I can find is ferme as an old spelling of farm. - -sche (discuss) 05:47, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- So far, all I can find are place names, such as "Ferme de la Croix". Kiwima (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
- ...and that is most likely either "ferme" as an old alt spelling of "farm" in English, or just the French word ferme (“farm”). - -sche (discuss) 01:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- RFV-failed; I moved the one use to the cites page. - -sche (discuss) 01:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
