[edit]From a dative inflection of the Proto-Germanic infinitive; equivalent to -an + -e
Pronunciation
[edit]Suffix
[edit]-enne
- Forms the inflected infinitive of verbs.
Usage notes
[edit]- The inflected infinitive is preceded by the preposition tō.
- On contracted verbs, this ending reduced to just -ne: fōnne, hōnne, tēonne.
- Due to influence from the uninflected infinitive -an, the form -anne was very common.
- This suffix was used with Class I weak verbs and strong verbs; Class II weak verbs used the related -ienne and -ianne.
