[Com. Teut.: OE. micel (also mycel) = OS. mikil (MLG. michel), OHG. mihhil (MHG. michel), ON. mikell, also mykell (nom. and acc. neut. miket, myket, acc. masc. mikenn, mykenn; Sw. mycken, neut. mycket; Norw. dial myken, neut. myket; Da. meget neut.), Goth. mikils:—OTeut. *mikilo-, corresponding to Gr. µεγαλο-, lengthened stem of µέγας great; the shorter form of the adj. is represented in Teut. only by ON. miǫk adv., very, which formally corresponds to Gr. µέγα neut. The root *meg- (represented also in Armenian mets great, and perh. in L. magnus) appears to be allied to the Aryan root *magh- of Skr. mah, maha, mahan great. The OE. form mycel (which is not a mere graphic variant of micel, but stands for an actual pronunciation) is difficult to explain; it is commonly supposed to be due to association with lȳ̆tel little a. The similar change of i into y in ON. mykell, mykl-, is believed to proceed from the influence of the u in the inflected forms miklu, miklum; but this explanation is not applicable to OE. The phonology of the ME. and modern forms is in many points obscure. Normally, OE. y would become in the S.W. u, pronounced |ʏ|, and elsewhere i; the abnormal u (in ME. also written o) of the β and ε forms has not yet been satisfactorily explained. The forms with k are northern and north-midland; the regular southern forms with ch are obsolete, having given place to the shortened mich, much. In present dialectal use the prevailing form is muckle; but mickle and meikle are often used by modern Scottish writers even when their own colloquial dialect has only muckle. The archaistic use in non-dialectal poetry is rare, and almost confined to the form mickle.] A. adj. 1. = great a., in various applications. a. with reference to size, bulk, stature. α825in Birch Cartul.
