Examples
-
_Alvearie_ we find "_Ribaudrie_, vilanie in actes or wordes, filthiness, uncleanness" -- "A _ribaudrous_ and filthie tongue, os obscoenum et impudicum:" in Minsheu, _ribaudrie_ and _ribauldrie_, which is the prevailing orthography of the word, and indicates its sound and derivation from the French, rather than from the Italian _ribalderia_.
