My sources give the form |he:tan|, sv.VII (so ME |hight| originates from
preterite form |heht| or |hiht| which is the result of reduplication)
My thnx for the link too! It's great!
May I add some more Internat sources about OE (Englisc)?

I admire Englisc! I still hope to design an OE-based conlang; I've gathered
quite enough material for it, but have no time to organize it :-(
