I have seen the word "obsedant" used in texts comprised mainly of English words. I have no idea what the author meant. Nor do my dictionaries of the English language offer any hints. It is noteworthy that Google shows the word "obsedant" occurring in pages composed in French and Romanian. Perhaps the article was composed by a Frenchman with very good English skills who made a small mistake. Redwalker 15:44, 11 Apr 2004 (UTC)
