This entry was a complete error. All the quotes were from old pieces of writing that were misread by a transcriber, who saw the old-fashioned Tall S which died out in the 18thC as if it were an "f". I think such entries ought to be discouraged!
I looked up fignify because it turned up in the alpha-dictionary search and found that it was a complete error. All the quotes were from old pieces of writing that were misread by a transcriber, who saw the old-fashioned Tall S which died out in the 18thC as if it were an "f".
