語源

Probably borrowed from Middle Dutch -kin, -ekin, from Old Dutch *-ukīn, -kīn, from Proto-West Germanic *-ukīn; apparently originally extrapolated from Dutch familiar forms of personal names. Compare bulchyn (“bullock”) and clouchyn (“clew”) for a possible variant of this suffix with /t͡ʃ/.

発音

• IPA: /-kin/

接尾辞

-kyn

1. Forms diminutives from nouns, mostly familiar forms of personal names.

   ‎Peter + ‎-kyn → ‎Perkyn

使用する際の注意点

• Names formed with this suffix fell out of fashion at the beginning of the 15th century, though they survived (and still survive) fossilised in surnames.

語源 2

From the pleonastic addition of the plural suffix -en to ky, plural of cow (“cow”), perhaps due to the association of -en with monosyllabic words ending in open syllables such as cow; see schon (“shoes”) for discussion. Berndt instead suggests analogy with oxen, the plural of the semantically related oxe (“ox”).
