Chaucerian past participle of reave. This, that and the other (talk) 10:13, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- Chaucer stuff tagged as Webster 1913 should just be converted to Middle English. W1913 did not distinguish between OE, ME and ModE. Equinox ◑ 10:25, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
- I think it's worth checking these. They were certainly used outside Chaucer and survived pretty much up to 1500, according to OED - if not after. For instance, I can find several uses of rafte in EEBO, but I can't immediately be sure whether they (a) are Modern English and (b) belong to the verb reave.
