Hi. I've been trying to track down the gender of this word, but I cannot seem to find it in any dictionaries. The usual word for "song" in West Frisian is liet, with sang/gesang meaning "singing/vocals/hymn"; yet "sjong" enters at least one compound: sjongboek, but it is a word on its own ? Superficially to me, it just looks like a combining form based on the verb sjonge (to sing) (i.e. a "sing-book"/"singing-book") Leasnam (talk) 22:00, 25 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

btw, I've done numerous searches for both "it sjong" and "de sjong" and haven't found anything convincing Leasnam (talk) 22:01, 25 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
It's also in sjongstik, sjongfûgel, et al. Leasnam (talk) 22:06, 25 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
I am not sure if this word is an existing and used noun, but it is a conjugation of the verb sjonge (to sing). I have added the forms to the article. Robin van der Vliet (talk) (contribs) 13:50, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thank you ! I suppose if nothing else shows up, the noun portion can just be removed Leasnam (talk) 23:14, 30 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
