Usage notes edit
- In cases other than the strong nominative singular, the prefix usually becomes the adjective midd and is inflected: tō midre niht (“at midnight,” cf. Old High German zi mitteru naht “at midnight” → German Mitternacht “midnight”). Middæġ (“noon”), midsumor (“midsummer”), and midwinter (“midwinter”) work the same way.
