Imbar, to bar, to exclude: “howbeit they would hold up this Salique law to bar your highness claiming from the female, and rather choose to hide them in a net than amply to i. their crooked titles usurped from you,” H5 I, 2, 94 (O. Edd. barre in v. 92 and imbarre. The two verbs are evidently used in the same sense: they strive to exclude you, instead of excluding amply, i. e. without restriction or subterfuge, their own false titles).*
