Added a French abbreviation for violoncelle which I discovered whilst adapting Le Cygne for a string quartet. However, I'm a Wikipedian, not a Wiktionarian, and don't really know the formats you guys use here. I'd appreciate if someone reviewed my addition and cleaned it up as seen fit. Thanks!

- Ok I'll add it back (I had deleted it) but I'll look for some more evidence that it's used outside just this one piece of music. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:25, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
- I saw it frequently in my youth when I used to play cello, but I can't vouch for its being periodless velle as opposed to velle. with a period, nor for its being lower-case as opposed to upper-case. I seem to remember it was usually formatted "Velle" (maybe with a period). —Angr 21:09, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

- Yeah that's one citation which looks to be for Velle as it happens, but only one. NB I'd tend to accept that citation, anyone disagree? Mglovesfun (talk) 18:45, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Rfv-sense: Abbreviation of violoncelle. I asked on the French Wiktionary and Lmaltier answered "yes, why not, though I can't find any examples of use" (paraphrased translation). Mglovesfun (talk) 14:23, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- And I found many examples of various other abbreviations. Without further information, this one should be removed. Lmaltier 07:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
