multiple modals

[Joan H. Hall]

DARE treats multiple modals at "may" sense B, "must" sense 2, and "used
to" (forthcoming). There's a reference at "may" to an article by Michael
Montgomery and Margaret Mishoe in 1994 American Speech (69.3--20), where
there are further data including negative and interrogative forms.
