méi

Etymology 1

From Old High German mē, from Proto-Germanic *maiz, adverbial form of *maizô. Cognate with German mehr, Dutch meer, West Frisian mear, English more.

The use for the formation of the comparative is probably not in itself due to French influence, regarding that the Germanic superlative has remained entirely functional. It is, however, possible that the development was reinforced by French.
