Same as with sauren above: IMO, oxygen is the base form, oxygenen is one of the inflected forms, and the inflected forms of oxygenen are nonsense. --Bruno413 (talk) 08:14, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
- But (deprecated template usage) oxygen is English. It can't be an inflected form of (deprecated template usage) Oxygen because of the capitalisation. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:51, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- oxygen is also a German adjective: https://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/oxygen --Bruno413 (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
- Bruno413 is correct - there is no *oxygenen, but oxygen is indeed an adjective. Compare these Google Books searches: "des oxygenen" (from oxygen; several hits) vs. "des oxygenenen" (from *oxygenen; only hit is our entry!). The same thing is found with other inflected forms.

- I have added a basic German adjective entry for (deprecated template usage) oxygen - don't know how it inflects. SemperBlotto (talk) 21:00, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
