Please reply to John directly as well as to the list if you can answer his query! A. Date: Fri, 29 Dec 1995 08:41:24 -0500 From: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: REED query I was recently chided by a MS reader for using the word MASQUEWRIGHT. It is not in OED, and John Simpson at OED assures me that they have no references to the word in their paper files. But I know that I did not make the word up. So . . . who did? Does any REED-er know of any references to the word in primary or secondary sources? John Forrest [log in to unmask]
