接周辞

a- -ing

1. (archaic) Used to form present participles and verbal nouns; and, (dialectal) circumfixed to words which function as part of a verb phrase (e.g. “he went a-hunting”)
   • 1951, I. Opie, P. Opie, The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, 2nd edition, Oxford University Press, published 1997, page 63:

     Bye, baby Bunting, / Father's gone a-hunting, / Mother's gone a-milking, / Sister's gone a-silking, / Brother's gone to buy a skin / To wrap the baby Bunting in.

使用する際の注意点

• The common practice is to hyphenate this circumfix’s first element and the word it inflects (e.g.: “a-running”); unhyphenated spellings (e.g.: “abreaking”) are rarer, but nonetheless correct.
