Definitions

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word wrapt is both "obsolete" and "erroneous."

One could hardly hope for better.

  1. Curious that the OED doesn't refer back to its entry for "Wrapped," which gives "Wrapt" as an alternate spelling.

    Smiling at "obsolete" and "erroneous," though. Piffle. (No cool puns for them!)

  2. 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...
