I suspect it's an        DH> archaic usage. The Cambridge dictionary doesn't define it as an        DH> adjective (listing only "cowardly"), same for Merriam-Webster,        DH> Collins, and the Britannica Dictionary. The Oxford dictionary shows        DH> it used an adjective but last used in 1818!              Coward is a noun. Amen! ;-)       https://thecontentauthority.com/blog/coward-vs-cowardly              Bye, Dallas!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2024              ---         * Origin: news://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 840 850       SEEN-BY: 218/860 870 880 930 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 300 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 301/1 113 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 712/848 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 221/6 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
