mɩŋ·gət] and ill-mondet [ɩl·mȯᶇ·dət], adj., evil-natured; malicious; rancorous. N.I. ill-minnet: Fe. ill-minget: Y^h. ill-mondet: Y., Fe. and U. (occas.). — Hardly from Eng. “ill-minded”. With a) minnet, minjet, and b) mondet, cf. respectively No. mynja, f., disposition; kind, esp. appl. to impression made on the mind, and No. mynd, f., quality; kind; nature (O.N. mynd, f., form; shape; kind; mode). See also mond, sb., and the various applications of that word (corresponding both to O.N. mund, n., moment, nick of time, and to “mynd”, mentioned above). With regard to minnet, minjet, however, there might possibly also be an association with O.N. minni, n., memory, and minjar, f. pl., memorial; with minget may poss. be compared No. myngja (mynja?), vb., in the sense of to brood over something.

ill-raget [ɩl·rā·gət], adj., ill-used; bullied; a i.-r. body. Uⁿ. See rag², vb. (to drive; pursue; bully, from O.N. reka).

ill-sluget [ɩl·sᶅū·gət], adj., heavy and clumsy in shape, ungraceful (Ai.); having a bad carriage and a dragging, clumsy gait (Sa.). *ill-slœkinn? The word may most prob. be associated with No. sloka, vb.,

to walk heavily and draggingly, and Icel. slókr, m., a dull, indolent person, slækinn (*slœkinn), adj., dull; lazy. The word might also be derived from a *slóð-, as original ð often changes to g in Shetl. Norn; cf. No. sloda (slooda), vb., to walk draggingly (O.N. slóði, m., that which one drags behind one). — slud, in ill-slud [ɩl·slūd·], adj., badly and clumsily shaped (N.Roe), may be a perf. part. of Eng. slew, slue, vb.
