[Dixonary] Rnd 2848 OLUHNE Results
 
This was a very even round and as a result pretty low scoring

Shani Naylor scored 3 and is our next dealer The real winners (all
seven of them!) are Judy Madnick, Tony Abell, Mike Shefler, Ryan McGill,
Tim Bourne, Keith Hale, Chris Carson each with 2 natural points

Back to Back - Over to you Shani

#1 was the real def... and I am going to put its entry from OED here in
full because it leaves me with a question

---------------------------

oluhne, v.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item.
Etymon: English /ōlyhtnian/.

Etymology: Apparently the reflex of an unattested weak Class II Old
English verb */ōlyhtnian/ (compare Old English /ōlyht/ in the compound
/ōlyhtword/ flattering words), apparently related to /ōleccan/ to
flatter, of uncertain origin; perhaps < an unattested noun /*ōlocc/
blandishment, flattery < /ō-/ , prefix (see e-__prefix^1 ) + lock n.^1
(compare Old English /loccian/ to entice, soothe: see lock v.^2 )

/
/

/Obs.//trans./To flatter. Also, /intr/

Derivatives


oluhning n. /Obs./ flattering, flattery.

The question relates to the fact that all the citations are from ?1200
(>1250) and these citations are all written in early middle english and
as such are difficult to read eg, from the____/Ancrene Riwle
<javascript:void(0)> / "Ne mei he bute schawin forð sumhwet of his
eapeware & olhnin oðer þreatin þet me bugge þrof." - and this is "the
English Text" from 1972! (the /Ancrene Riwle <javascript:void(0)> /is an
anonymous set of monastic rules for female anchorites -anchoresses -
nowadays called the Ancrene Wisse) - [[[to give a handle on who I am: I
found the Wiki article on Ancrene Riwle fascinating]]]

Is it reasonable to play a word with such arcane antecedents? even if it
is in the OED - I admit that I thought that it was playable because of
the derivative "oluhning"

/so ....???
