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.

Rfv-sense:

  1. beech

It can be inferred that Gothic must have had this or a very similar word with the meaning of beech, but Gothic is almost entirely attested as biblical translations or commentaries, and the IP who added the sense is notorious for adding unattested Gothic terms.

I'm of two minds on this one. There is no doubt that this is the correct form and the word is real and meant "beech", and some linguistic sources will even state that as its meaning. However, it is also true that Wulfila clearly only used it in the other senses on the page, and this meaning is technically reconstructed. If the sense is removed, we need to have a usage note to that effect. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
