According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word wrapt is both "obsolete" and "erroneous."
One could hardly hope for better.

"O Holy Wisdom, Soaring Power, encompass us with wings unfurled, and carry us, encircling all, above, below, and through the world."
--Hildegard of Bingen
Curious that the OED doesn't refer back to its entry for "Wrapped," which gives "Wrapt" as an alternate spelling.
ReplyDeleteSmiling at "obsolete" and "erroneous," though. Piffle. (No cool puns for them!)
ya know, I had not looked at "wrapped"...that's funny that it's seemingly ok in one definition and not in another. of course, wreality is what you can get away with...
