-inge
quickinfo

The suffix -inge will now be obsolete in the spoken language. In the written language it belongs to the elevated style. It is a variant of the suffix -ing. Next to for example wijing consecration (< wije to consecrate) we have wijinge consecration, and next to haaiïng haymaking (< haaie to make hay) we find haaiïnge haymaking. In a few cases the variant -inge is lexicalized and therefore has survived, for example printinge edition, from printsje to print.
