"1. Of a person: difficult to deal with, prickly. 2. Of a subject: providing many difficulties, thorny." Maybe spiny but surely not the more technical spinous. Equinox ◑ 17:57, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

These needed some kind of context labels, given the quotes. The first is clearly quite dated, and perhaps obsolete (as I have boldly marked it); the second seems to be mostly produced by non-native speakers, and I added the nonstandard label, although it could be improved upon. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 03:49, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
I agree that the first is obsolete. I am not so sure on the second. The cites I could find in permanently archieved sources mostly looked to be by non-native speakers, but I found plenty in non-permanently archived sources that looked to be by native speakers.
