Verb [Middle English]

IPA: /ˈmarən/, /ˈmɛrən/, /mar/, /mɛr/, /maːr/ [rare], /mɛ̞ːr/ [Northern]
Etymology: Inherited from Anglian Old English merran, from Proto-West Germanic *marʀijan, from Proto-Germanic *marzijaną, from Proto-Indo-European *mers- (“to forget”). Forms with /a/ may reflect Anglian Old English *mærran as well as the Middle English lowering of /ɛr/ to /ar/, while those with a long vowel are presumably levelled from the Old English past stem mer-, *mær-.
