Carroll’ Rectory Umbrella & Mischmasch (1932) 140 Outgrabe, past tense of the verb to outgribe. (It is connected with the old verb to grike or shrike, from which are derived ‘shriek’ and ‘creak’.) ‘Squeaked.’1871 ‘L. Carroll’ Through Looking-glass vi. 129 ‘And what does “outgrabe” mean?’ ‘Well, “outgribing” is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.’ Apparently intended by Carroll as a past tense, but generally understood subsequently as a regular verb, with present tense outgrabe and past tense outgrabed. Used with various meanings, or meaninglessly, and dependent on context.

intransitive. Used as a nonsense word: (most frequently) to emit a strange noise.In quot. 1903 used transitively to mean outdo (cf. out- prefix 4a(b)(i)).The text of quot. 1855 also occurs in the first verse of ‘Jabberwocky’ in Through the Looking-Glass (1871) i. 21.
