maka
sagnorð
ð, [ make; machen; a root word quite alien from the Northern languages, for of the three references below, two seem to be put into the month of foreigners trying to speak Norse]:—to make; in the phrase, ek ska1 maka honum háðung, I will ‘make shame’ to him, 45 (the persons in the story were foreigners); maki enginn sukk, let none ‘make’ a disturbance, the words of John the Fleming in i. 801; byrjar oss at maka þessar þjóðir í várri dvöl með nokkurri venju, we ought to put them to some shame, 119.
2. to smear, grease, in usage, derived from maka háðung above, or it may be quite a different word.
