When was the word yean used in a sentence?

It's difficult to pinpoint an exact date for the last time "yean" was used in a sentence, as language evolves and changes over time. However, we can say that it's not commonly used in modern English.

Here's why:

* "Yean" is an archaic word meaning to give birth (specifically to sheep, goats, or other animals). It's considered a literary word, and you might find it in older texts or poetry.

* The modern English word "lamb" is used to refer to the offspring of a sheep, making "yean" less necessary.

* "Yean" is not considered a natural word for most English speakers today. They are more likely to use "give birth," "have offspring," or other similar phrases.

Therefore, you would be unlikely to encounter "yean" in everyday conversation or written English. While it might still exist in very specific contexts, it is no longer a widely used word.
