læne

Danish edit

Either inherited from Old Norse *hlina or borrowed from Middle Low German lēnen, from Proto-Germanic *hlināną (“to lean”), cognate with English lean and German lehnen. In all these languages, the verb has merged with the causative *hlainijaną (“to cause to lean”). The verbs go back to

læne (imperative læn, infinitive at læne, present tense læner, past tense lænede, perfect tense har lænet)
