Yiddish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]An expansion of earlier *לייען (*leyen) (still attested in Alsace as /ˈlaːjə/ and /(ɡə)laːɪ̯t/) + ־ען (-en), from Romance, perhaps from Old French leyer, lire, ultimately from Latin legō (“read”).
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]לייענען • (leyenen) (past participle געלייענט (geleyent))
Usage notes
[edit]- The realization leynen in the infinitive and geleynt in the past participle is very rare in Western Yiddish areas, while it is common all across Poylish and Ukraynish areas.
