Adjective looks like a verb. --Gente como tú (talk) 13:25, 6 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Some present participles do graduate into full-fledged adjective status. But I did a quick search at online-literature.com, and didn't find any convincing support that this one has. I'm leaning toward delete. -- · (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
A smattering of examples such as "very stooping posture/shoulders/gait/etc." inclines me towards keep. Mihia (talk) 21:19, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Stooping (obs. )=> Swooping?

Consider Pope's line here:
Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove?
Most of the old texts have it as stooping, and not, as we now know the word: swooping. Is this an alternative obsolete meaning for the word, or just a misprint?--Lmstearn (talk) 12:08, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oops, a Google search reveals it's the former- swoop is a derivation, possibly?--Lmstearn (talk) 12:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
