1 midde-niht
midnight :-- Gif þunor cumeð on forantniht . . . Gif hé cymð on middeniht (midde niht ?) . . . Gif hé on dæg cumð, Archiv cxx. 47, 12-16. [In favour of midde-niht as well as mid-niht may be noted midde-sumor, midde-winter as well as mid-sumor, mid-winter: further the form midne-dæg ( q. v.) seems to show that an oblique case might get compounded with a noun, and the compound be used as a nominative. The same may have happened with midder-niht.] II. last passage. midde-niht
