Semantic development?[edit]
"from Old English tēafor (“red, red lead, vermilion, purple; a material used in making salve; pigment, salve”), from Proto-Germanic *taubrą (“magic, sorcery”)" How did this semantic shift from magic to red-purple dyes/materials used in pigments and salves develop? seems tenuous.--Sigehelmus (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
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.
Rfv-sense "(transitive) To paint, to sculpt." Comes across as Anglish to me. — SURJECTION / T / C / L / 06:22, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
RFV-failed. Not in OED. EEBO only has errors for river and divers; I can't even find the sheep sense there. GBooks has the sheep sense and scannos. This, that and the other (talk) 01:16, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
