11. 14 does list this word; however, it classifies it as "rare". Furthermore, the meaning that it assigns to the word is as a synomym for "to name". In other words, The Oxford English Dictionary's "rare", but accepted, usage is in contradistinction to the connotation that we proposed to be implied, namely, the assigning of a name within an agreed-upon canonical system of naming.
