The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
(compare declivant)
Heraldry, "Having the tail hanging down." I can't find uses. The OED has one cite of non-heraldic use which they consider a nonce; they mention heraldic use but give no cites of use. Some works seem to equate declinant to reclinant instead. declivant, defined as a synonym of declinant in heraldry, seems to be attested, but in taxonomic rather than heraldic writing, so changes may be needed there. - -sche (discuss) 20:54, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
