Meaning
This word has no established meaning or entry in major standard dictionaries (e.g., Oxford, Merriam-Webster, Cambridge). It appears to be either an extremely obscure dialectal term, a historical archaism, or a neologism/spelling variant.
Given the absence of a standard definition, extended meaning cannot be established reliably. It may be a variant or misspelling of another word (e.g., "make me" as a colloquial phrase, a Scottish surname 'Makey' or 'Mackie', or a mishearing of 'macramé').
