Both the Geordie senses are redundant to sense 1. Sense 3 indicates the present participle - in other words, it's an eye dialect of -ing - and sense 4 indicates a gerund - in other words, it's an eye dialect of -ing. Smurrayinchester (talk) 14:36, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

(Before anyone suggests that maybe "-ing" is only condensed to "-in" in these specific contexts in Geordie, Google books gives plenty of evidence of Geordies eating herrin, and paying shillins, and climbing Roseberry Toppin.) Smurrayinchester (talk) 15:03, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

"Roseberry Topping"? OMG I think I just found my drag queen name. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 15:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes, just eye dialect, and common in many other dialects, not just Geordie. Dbfirs 08:27, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Delete. Maybe a usage note listing the dialects where this eye dialect is most commonly used can be added. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 20:51, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

As in Carthaginian? --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:42, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

In as much as it is in imagine and imagination from image. Etymologically, it's a part of a stem that has been dropped, rather than something that has been added. (Quite how hadaš-t gave -hagin- I don't see.) I don't think it is a Latinising morpheme, even as one that allows the addition of Latin suffixes. Would even *Carthaginise (cf. fr:carthaginiser) strengthen the case? --RichardW57 (talk) 10:48, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

This needs fixing up to conform to our standard layout, with headword lines and such. —CodeCat 19:42, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
