mir
English Edit
Etymology Edit
Borrowing from Russian мир (mir, “community, village commune; peace; world”).
Noun Edit
mir (plural mirs)
- (now historical) A traditional village community in Imperial Russia, charaterised by self-government and collectivist control of local lands. [from 19th c.]
- 1878, Donald Mackenzie Wallace, Russia, volumes 1-3, page 179:
- [T]he constitution of the village […] was a subject which specially interested me, because I was aware that the Mir is the most peculiar of Russian institutions.
- R. Van Bergen, The Story of Russia, page 190:
- The mir was the only means to prevent this, and mir meant serfdom under another name. The landowners disposed of their land, or of so much as was required to support the peasants, not to individuals but to the mir.
- 2007, Tim Blanning, The Pursuit of Glory, Penguin, published 2008, page 169:
- Consisting of village elders elected by the male heads of household, the mir conducted almost all peasant business, fixing the dates for the agricultural year, deciding what, when and how crops should be grown, distributing plots of land on the open fields, collecting taxes and enforcing basic community discipline.

Bavarian Edit
Pronoun Edit
mir
German Edit
Pronunciation Edit
Etymology 1 Edit
From Middle High German mir (“me”), from Old High German mir (“me”), from Proto-Germanic *miz (“me”), from Proto-Indo-European *(e)me-, *(e)me-n- (“me”). Cognate with Old English mē (“me”). More at me.
Pronoun Edit
mir
Derived terms Edit
- mirs (“it to me”)
Etymology 2 Edit
From Middle High German mir (“we”). The form originated through assimilation of wir with a preceding verb form and subsequent unetymological segmentation. This is possibly already an Old High German development, since a common Old High German ending of the 1st person plural was -em, thus bittēm wir → *bittē-mir (modern bitten wir (“ask we, do we ask”)). The contraction as such is definitely old, though the common form of assimilation, both in written Old High German and written Middle High German, is through loss of the nasal: bittē wir. The form with mir may either be a younger development in Middle High German, or a more colloquial form that only later appeared in writing. Older age is suggested by the great dominance of mir throughout modern dialects of High German. Compare Yiddish מיר (mir), Luxembourgish mir. Compare also Old Norse mit (“we two”), Norwegian Nynorsk me (“we”).
Pronoun Edit
mir
- (dialectal or colloquial) Alternative form of wir (“we”)
- 16th century / 1874, Alsfelder Passionsspiel mit Wörterbuch herausgegeben von C. W. M. Grein, p. 13 l. 458f. [note: the text also has mer for 1st person plural nominative]:
- Mir willen widder in die helle,
Die armen sele siden und quellen.- (please add an English translation of this quotation)
