1. Forms the inflected infinitive of verbs.

   to farenne [Mt. Bos. 8, 21]

使用する際の注意点

• The inflected infinitive is preceded by the preposition tō.
• On contracted verbs, this ending reduced to just -ne: fōnne, hōnne, tēonne.
• The form -anne was very common; this is traditionally taken as influence from the uninflected infinitive -an, but Versloot suggests that since -anne was attested earlier, it must have been original and i-umlaut therefore did not apply in the context of *-annjē. It is also possible that -enne reflects a reduction of -anne, but -anne, -annae is in turn a levelling of a prehistoric *-ennǣ.
• This suffix was used with Class I weak verbs and strong verbs; Class II weak verbs used the related -ienne and -ianne.

派生した語
