[edit]Verb
[edit]mighteth
- (nonstandard, pseudo-archaic, hypercorrect) (archaic) third-person singular simple present indicative of may.
Usage notes
[edit]- This verb form is nonstandard; the historical third-person singular past tense of verbs was always identical to the first-person singular, unlike the present tense. Contrastively, second-person singular "mightest" is historically correct.
