ppl. a.2 (UN-1 8 + TONED ppl. a.)
1807. J. Barlow, Columb., IX. 104. But frail at first his frame, with nerves ill strung, Unform’d his footsteps, long untoned his tongue.
1896. A. H. Keane, Ethnol., xii. 326. A distinctly polysyllabic group of untoned languages.
1897. Daily News, 12 Jan., 6/5. One portrait of his [Lord Leighton’s], undated, but probably an early work, ‘Miss May Sartoris’ (No. 43), is so vigorous in its composition, so spirited in its colour, with its dominant black and blue, its almost strident red, its untoned white, that he seems in it to have broken away completely from the restraining influences of Italian art.
