Rfv-sense: verb

I can find plenty of evidence for this processing being called (deprecated template usage) screeding, that it uses (deprecated template usage) screed boards, and that once complete the concrete is described as being (deprecated template usage) screed. This suggests that it would be logical for the verb to be "to scree" to but I haven't been able to find evidence of it on bgc or ggc. Thryduulf (talk) 16:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Looking at this bgc search for some distinct verb collocations, I found 2 new verb senses (added), one citation that fits the definition, a few scannos for forms of screed#Verb, and numerous scannos for forms of screen#Verb. DCDuring TALK 12:38, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Can we add a 5th etymology?

I have seen the word scree used like reee online. I am guessing it is an onomatopoeia of a hawk or, more likely, the distress call of small prey birds, like the chicken. Can someone attest the first time this happens in the forums? 38.43.32.16 01:26, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
