Translations
Etymology
1. From Old High German mahhōn, from Proto-West Germanic *makōn. Cognate with German machen, Dutch maken, English make.
2. Umlauted present forms are found in most of Central Franconian. The vowel é (instead of *mächt) is probably related to the somewhat complicated developments before Old High German -h(h)- as in briechen or wiisst. Strong past forms are found in parts of Moselle Franconian and Alemannic. They were formed by analogy with strong class 7c (the ou being due to backformation from the subjunctive). See: German, old spelling '
machen', Dutch '
maken', English '
make'.
