  1. ^ Philip Durkin, The Oxford Guide to Etymology (2009), pages 275-276: "English minikin, the name of a type of lute string which Munich was famous for producing in the sixteenth century, is from Miniken, an older form of the name of the city in English, which itself reflects German Münichen, an older trisyllabic form of the place name."
  2. ^ Andreas Gröger, Revising German Etymologies in the Oxford English Dictionary", chapter 16 of Dictionary Visions, Research and Practice (ed. Henrik Gottlieb, Jens Erik Mogensen; 2007), pages 250-251: Miniken "deriv[es] from the contemporary German form Münichen and show[s] the unrounding of [Y] to [I] typical of the Bavarian regional dialect. Two articles in (non-linguistic) scholarly journals independently confirmed the etymology, stating that minikins were manufactured in Munich and were an expensive, imported item in 16th-century England. [...] Consequently, OED3 features two homonymic entries [split by etymology]."
