Maybe it's just my issue, but when looking up the word Repent in the Websters 1828, I only get this...
RE'PENT, a. L. repo, to creep. Creeping; as a repent root.
That's it. That's all...
I know it's missing a bunch because we got a printed Websters 1828 (replica), and it has a whole lot more definition (s) than my SS7.2 edition has. Do I have a corrupted SS module or a setting messed up?
I should be finding the following too ...
