The headword, definition, and examples of usage on PDF page 66 were directly compared. This is based on a single collection; the older article texts quoted there were not directly checked. The earliest verified date is the collection’s publication date, given on the copyright page on PDF page 69. Only the collective label for the two types of market given by the collection is explained; no universal distinction between the English names is asserted.
