düngen
Appearance
See also: dungen
German
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German tüngen, from Old High German -tungen (in gitungen), derived from tung (“dung”). The modern consontanism is formally Central and Low German (compare Middle Low German düngen), but it must be due largely to dialectal re-voicing given that Dung (which see for more) was a predominantly southern word.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]düngen (weak, third-person singular present düngt, past tense düngte, past participle gedüngt, auxiliary haben)
- to fertilize (a field)
