[4] meðr ‘men’: An early form of the nom. pl. of maðr ‘man’, which was later assimilated to mennr and eventually to menn. CVC: maðr lists several occurrences in poetry, all in texts dating from the C11th and C12th. On meðr and the assimilation of þr/ðr to nnr, which Noreen dates to the late Viking period, see ANG §§261, 277b.
