<div>I have wondered about "Cumbling" as Michael's epithet. I have just found an entry for "cumbling" ini the Middle English Compendium of the University of Michigan: https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary/MED8519<br />
That reference lists <cǒmeling n. Also comling, cum(e)ling, cumbling & (early) kimeling, kemeling.> from<br />
<OE *cymeling, with early substitution of the vowel of cǒmen v.> <br />
It can be used as <One who is not a native or a citizen: foreigner, intruder, newcomer; stranger, traveler; a homeless person; -- also used attributively; (b) an adopted child, an orphan.>, all of which are plausible meanings for his epithet.<br />
<br />
Any comments from wiser souls than I? May I add this as a postscript to the entry for Cumbling Michael?</div>Kachibadjiwanhttp://wiki.lspace.org/index.php?title=Talk:Cumbling_Michael&diff=30881Talk:Cumbling Michael2020-04-17T18:23:04Z<p>Kachibadjiwan: Cumbling Michael's name</p>
