méég-gildan

to pay part of the wergild for a homicide committed by a kinsman:--Ne þearf se frigea mid ðam þeówan mǽggieldan (or should this be mǽge gieldan? cf. MS. B. which has mid ðam þeówan men gyldan. But the word is supported by L. H. i. 70, 5:--Non cogitur liber cum servo meggildare), L. In. 74; Th. i. 150, 1. meeg-gildan
