Etymology 1 [ edit ]

From Middle English ei, ey, from Old English ǣġ, from Proto-West Germanic *aij, from Proto-Germanic *ajją, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ōwyóm. Doublet of egg and ovum.

And the marchaunt was angry, for he also coude speke no Frenshe, but wolde have hadde egges ; and she understode hym not. And thenne at laste a-nother sayd that he wolde have eyren . Then the good wyf sayd that she understod hym wel. Loo, what sholde a man in thyse dayes now wryte, egges , or eyren ? Certaynly it is hard to playse every man, by-cause of dyversite and chaunge of langage. 1787, originally 1381, Liber quotidianus contrarotulatoris garderobae : Take brothe of capons withoute herbes, and breke eyren, and cast into the pot, and make a crudde therof, and colour hit with saffron, and then presse oute the brothe and kerve it on leches; and then take swete creme of almondes, or of cowe mylk, and boyle hit; [ … ]

( dated , dialectal ) An island. 1897 January, Saga-Book of the Viking Club , volume 1, part 3, London: David Nutt, OCLC 1769140 , pages 269–270: January,, volume 1, part 3, London: David Nutt, It would be tedious even to enumerate the points of importance to navigation among the Hebrides which had found a record in Norse speech before the names came into our sailing charts. The Skeirs and Skerries, Nesses and Fiords, Sounds and Wicks, beyond number, besides the many Eys (islands) scattered along the west coast, indicate something of the careful mode of their navigation, as well as the retentiveness of their memories in storing up the results of their seafaring experience.
