† bihalvebihalvenbihalvesphr.adv.prep.

Etymology: Old English be healfe ‘by (the) side,’ a phrase construed with a dative; treated in Middle English as an adverb and preposition. The Middle English ending -en seems due to form-association with words like beforen , betwixen , etc., in which the -en was historical; -es imitated the adverbial genitives. Compare beside adv. and prep., bisiden , besides adv. and prep. (perhaps the direct model for bihalven, bihalves).
