Examples

  • His proposal of llob as the source of the verb to lob; his assimilation of dudgeon to the Welsh dygen ` malice '-- though at the time of dudgeon's debut, dygen meant ` sadness'; and his attempt to base dandruff on ton drwg ` bad surface 'are all very interesting but ... as the Oxford English Dictionary tactfully puts it, "historically and phonetically baseless."
