maken

1. To make or create; to have something made.
   • a. 1382, John Wycliffe, “Genesis 1:1-2”, in Wycliffe's Bible:

     In þe bigynnyng God made of nouȝt heuene and erþe. / Forſoþe þe erþe was idel and voide, and derkneſſis weren on the face of depþe; and the Spiryt of þe Lord was borun on the watris.

     In the beginning, God made the sky and the Earth out of nothing. / The Earth was inactive and empty, and darkness was on top of the seas' surfaces, and the Spirit of the Lord moved on the water.

   • a. 1400, Geoffrey Chaucer, “General Prologue”, in The Canterbury Tales, lines 9–12:

     And ſmale foweles maken melodye / That ſlepen al the nyght with open ye / So priketh hem Nature in hir corages / Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages […]

     And small birds make song / that sleep all night with their eyes open / (as Nature pokes them in their hearts). / Then people want to go on pilgrimages […]

     & ſomme englyſſhe bookes maken mencyon that they wente neuer oute of englond after the deth of ſyr Launcelot / but that was but fauour of makers […]

     And some English books make claims that they never went out of England after the death of Sir Lancelot, / but that was only authors' biases […]

After the Early Middle English period, the irregular past forms of this verb become vastly more common than their regular alternatives; maked continues to occasionally appear in the Early Modern English literary language.
