单词 smeek
释义

smeekn.

Brit. /smiːk/, U.S. /smik/, Scottish English /smik/
Forms:

α. early Middle English smec ( Ormulum), Middle English smek, Middle English smeke, Middle English (1900s U.S. regional) smeek; Scottish pre-1700 smeeik, pre-1700 smek, pre-1700 smeke, pre-1700 1800s– smeik, 1700s smeak, 1700s– smeek.

β. Middle English smike, Middle English smyk, Middle English smyke.

Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: smeech n.
Etymology: Variant of smeech n. Compare earlier smeek v.The presence of velar /k/ in these forms is probably the result of both analogical levelling within the paradigm in Old English from forms where assibilation did not take place before a back vowel and the influence of smeek v. Compare reek n.1 With the β. forms perhaps compare the Old English (Mercian) form smikende at smeek v. Forms.
Chiefly Scottish in later use.
1.
a. Smoke from burning or smouldering material. Also figurative and in figurative contexts.

smeekv.

Brit. /smiːk/, U.S. /smik/, Scottish English /smik/
Forms: Old English smeac (past tense), Old English smecende (Northumbrian, present participle), Old English smeocan, Old English smeogað (plural present indicative, transmission error), Old English smikende (Mercian, present participle), Middle English smeke; Scottish 1700s– smeek, 1800s smeak, 1800s– smeik.
Origin: Probably a word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Probably cognate with Middle Dutch smieken to smoulder, to emit smoke (in isolated attestation; perhaps compare Dutch parallels cited at smook v.), German regional (Bavaria) schmiehen to smoulder, to turn into ash (in apparently isolated attestation, probably for schmiechen ; compare the German parallels cited at smoke n., smoke v.) < an ablaut variant (e -grade) of the Germanic base of smoke v. (which shows zero-grade of the base).In Old English a strong verb of Class II. Forms of the plural past tense and of the past participle are not attested in Old English and no strong forms survive in Middle English, where the verb is conjugated weak. (In Dutch and German (only the present tense is attested)) Compare also the corresponding Old English weak Class I verb smīecan (Anglian smēcan ), a causative formation from the same Germanic base as the strong verb (o -grade; compare early modern German schmäuchen and the other West Germanic parallels cited at smoke v., although it is possible that some of these verbs may represent later denominative formations (compare West Germanic forms at smeech n.). Although Old English smīecan was originally the transitive counterpart to intransitive smēocan , it (like the latter) is attested in both transitive and intransitive use (compare similar developments discussed at reek v.1). Compare:eOE (Mercian) Vespasian Psalter (1965) cxliii. 6 Tange montes et fumigabunt : gehrin muntas & hie smicað.eOE Bald's Leechbk. (Royal) (1865) i. xxiii. 65 Wiþ þeohece smice mid fearne swiþe þa þeoh.eOE Bald's Leechbk. (Royal) (1865) i. lxxi. 146 Nim gate hær, smecunder þa brec wiþ þæs rægereosan. The Middle English reflex of both Old English verbs smēocan and smīecan would be expected to show the stem vowel long close ē , but the latter in addition should show palatalization and assibilation of the stem-final consonant, although this is not evident in the Old English spelling (compare smeech n. and later smeech v.). It has been suggested that the lack of strong past tense forms for smeek v. in Middle English is due to the influence of Old English smīecan (compare the merger discussed at reek v.1). However, the general rarity of non-present forms in early use makes the likelihood of this difficult to assess. The Old English (Mercian) present participle form smikende apparently shows sporadic Anglian smoothing of ēo to ī (rather than expected ē); see A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §227.
Scottish in later use.
