The phrase "haddest a meet" is an archaic way of saying "had a meeting." The spelling and pronunciation come from Middle English, where "haddest" is the second person singular past tense of "have," and "meet" is an old spelling of "meeting." In IPA phonetic transcription, "haddest" is pronounced /ˈhæd.ɪst/, with stress on the first syllable, and "meet" is pronounced /miːt/, with a long "e" sound for the vowel. This phrase may be unfamiliar to modern readers, but it reflects the evolution of the English language over time.
