@Mulder1982 Do you know if the descendant Danish -de exists? I don't recognize it myself.__Gamren (talk) 09:38, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Gamren It does exist but it's afaict quite rare. The most common words would probably be længde (length) and tyngde ("thickth", thickness). So yes, it does exist. Mulder1982 (talk) 09:18, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Mulder1982 Hm, okay. So we've got dybde from ca. 1700, and maybe mængde, and the rest are inherited from Old Norse? Seems a bit weak. Although I guess there's some value in saying "when you have an Old Norse word with this suffix, it'll (probably) be written like this in the successor languages".__Gamren (talk) 17:16, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
