hænge
Danish
editEtymology
editA merger of two related verbs: 1. Old Norse hengja (“to hang (transitive)”), from Proto-Germanic *hangijaną, cognate with German hängen; and 2. Old Norse hanga (“to hang (intransitive)”), from Proto-Germanic *hanhaną, cognate with English hang and German hangen. In the past tense, Danish still distinguishes transitive hængte from intransitive hang (though they are often mixed up).
