Definitions and meaning of mir
mir
Etymology
Borrowing from Russianмир(mir, “world”).
Noun
mir (pluralmirs)
A Russian village community.
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.
(colloquially in unstressed position) IPA(key): /mɐ/, /mə/
Etymology 1
From Middle High Germanmir(“me”), from Old High Germanmir(“me”), from Proto-Germanic*miz(“me”), from Proto-Indo-European*(e)me-, *(e)me-n-(“me”). Cognate with Old Englishmē(“me”). More at me.
Pronoun
mir
(personal)dative of ich: me, to me:
Derived terms
mirs(“it to me”)
Etymology 2
From Middle High Germanmir(“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 Yiddishמיר (mir), Luxembourgishmir. Compare also Old Norsemit(“we two”), Norwegian Nynorskme(“we”).
