Wb

For the derivation of this word from the French tabis, a kind of silk, see Wb.

The authorities quoted and the abbreviations representing them are as follows: Wb.

Nares says that antlers is an error here, the word meaning "the short brow horns, not the branched horns;" but see Wb.

Wb. does not give this sense, which we believe is found only in Spenser.

See Wb., and cf. state and estate, etc.
