***** Usage notes
- In older forms of English, when the pronoun _thou_ was in active use, and verbs used _-est_ for distinct second-person singular indicative forms, the verb _make_ had the form _makest_ , and had _madest_ for its past tense.
- Similarly, when the ending _-eth_ was in active use for third-person singular present indicative forms, the form _maketh_ was used.
