  ,, ‘to make, produce, cause, perform,’ from the  machen,  mahhôn; corresponding to the   makôn,  maken,  macian,  to make; a common   for ‘to make,’ but existing also as a borrowed term in the Northern. The  further signifies ‘to combine, join.’ As allied to  *makôn,  the  —  *makr, only in the  makara, ‘more suitable or convenient,’  gemœc, ‘suitable, fit,’  gimah, ‘combined with, belonging to, corresponding, convenient,’  gemach,  ;  gimah,  of the, ‘combination, convenience, agreeableness,’  gemach,  and , ‘comfort, agreeableness, place where one rests, dwelling, room,’  ); further,  gemœčča, ‘husband, wife,’  make, ‘companion, spouse,’  match,  gimahho, ‘companion,’ gimahha, ‘wife,’  gimahhidi,  gemęchede, , ‘spouse.’ Hence results a  root mak, ‘to join or belong to in a suitable manner’ ( in meaning to the root gad in ).

The  sense of the   *maþan-, ‘maggot,’ is perhaps ‘gnawer’; it has been connected with the root mê, ‘to mow’;  ( and  variant matte) may also be akin.   , , ‘maid, servant,’ from  maget ( męgde), meit, ‘maiden, virgin,’ also ‘bond girl, servant,’  magad ( magidi, męgidi), , ‘maiden’; corresponding to  magaþs (wanting in ),  mœgþ,  magath, ; the common  word (unknown only in ) for ‘maiden,’ in  and  also with the  sense ‘maid, servant.’ From these are derived the diminutives (see  and ),  *magadein, ,  magatîn,  magetîn, , ‘girl,’  maœgden,  maid, maiden ( mœgþ, , ‘maiden,’ became obsolete at the beginning of the  period),  magaþs, ‘maiden,’ and its cognates in the other languages are old  derivatives from an archaic term, magus, ‘boy, youth’;   magus, ‘boy, servant,’  mǫgr, ‘son,’  mago, ‘son, youth, man, servant.’ To this is allied another  derivative,  mawi,  mœ́r (for *magwî, with the loss of a g, see );  further  meówle, ‘girl.’  magus, ‘son, boy, servant,’ is  to  macc, ‘boy, youth, son’ ( the  proper names MacCarthy, &c.).   ,, formed from the  mâc (g), ,  mâg, , ‘kinsman’; corresponding to  mâg,  mœ̂g, , ‘kinsman.’ The allied terms in the  languages denote special degrees of relationship;   mégs, ‘daughter's husband,’  mágr, ‘brother-in-law, son-in-law, father-in-law.’ Probably mâg signified  ‘one who is related by marriage.’  distinguishes between  and , just as  does between swërtmâge, ‘relatives on the male side,’ and spinnelmâge, ‘relatives on the female side’; similarly in  spërmagas and spinelmâgas.   ,, from the  and  mage,  mago, , ‘stomach’;  <section end="Magen" />
