Old Norse
In my Old Norse dictionary at hand there are three forms given: morginn, morgunn and myrginn. The first(morghon), which is claimed to be Old East Norse, does not appear and this "gh" does not look well. From the three forms morginn seems to be most common and myrginn the most ancient (see here). But the form with "gh" really does not look typical. Whence is it? Bogorm 09:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the OED lists "Old Icelandic" morgunn (with its later form morginn) and myrginn; and "Old Swedish" morghon. I took these as paradigmatic of Old West Norse and Old East Norse respectively, but perhaps that is a mitake.  Ƿidsiþ 09:15, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Old Dutch
Was very commonly used as an indication of surface area for farm land. Size is different in different regions of the country, but generally between 8000 and 10,000 square meter. Whaledad (talk) 16:47, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
