German[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle High German tüngen, from Old High German -tungen (in gitungen), derived from tung (dung). The modern consontanism is formally Central and Low German (compare Middle Low German düngen), but it must be due largely to dialectal re-voicing given that Dung (which see for more) was a predominantly southern word.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ˈdʏŋən/, [ˈdʏŋən], [ˈdʏŋŋ̩]
  • (file)

Verb[edit]

düngen (weak, third-person singular present düngt, past tense düngte, past participle gedüngt, auxiliary haben)

  1. to fertilize (a field)
