Eg.: mátti þar ekki í millim sjá hvárr of öðrum myndi bera, it could not be seen which of the two would get the better, so equal was the match, Fms. iii. 77, Fb. i. 138, Fas. i. 399, iii. 377, Fs. 39; alla þá stund varð honum ekki í milli aga ok úfriðar, all that time there was war and fighting, i.e. all his reign was for him nothing but continuous war and tumult, Fms. vi. 430; mér lætr þú ok sjálfum millum ílls lítið, Am. 82; leggja í millum, to pay into the bargain; skal ek í millum leggja vinganar þinnar, ... kalla ek mínn kaupi vel keypt ok allgóðr er meðal-aukinn.

MINN, f., mín, n., mitt, poss. pron. :-- in the possessive pronouns minn, þinn, sinn (meus, tuus, suus), mod. usage pronounces i long (í) before one consonant, but short (i) before a double consonant, and accordingly all modern editions of old writers make a distinction in the root vowel, thus, minn, minnar, minni, minna, but mín, mínir, mínar, mínum; whereas the ancients pronounced í throughout, as is seen from Thorodd,
