Looking at the first message in this thread...

you know the word empty...

I saw many years ago in a BBC TV program on the history of the English Language about a North Country word

one can "emp" a cart - that is to empty it - the cart is then "empty"

one can also "unemp" it - that is to fill it ...

The plural of "mice " is "meese"....
Ref: see the cartoons "I hate you meeces to peeces"
