- According to Clark Hall there were two distinct series in OE, adjectival - mic`el ma_ra mae_st, and adverbial - micle ma_ mae_st. These merged in ME where both 'ma_' and 'ma_re' are used as adjectives and adverbs. Compare ME 'ma_re' which can mean 'bigger', 'bigger person or thing', 'bigger number or amount' and 'to a greater extent', with the ModE reflex 'more' which is only used in the latter two senses. ModE 'mo' (from 'ma_') is obsolete or dialectal.
