Etymology[edit]
@Per utramque cavernam: concerning this change, I should point out that the OED Online does indicate a derivation from Latin tingēre (with a diacritic over the e) rather than tingere (without one). — SGconlaw (talk) 18:54, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Sgconlaw: Mh, all right. I'd be inclined to see that as a mistake on their part. In any case, the question is about whether the verb belongs to the second (-ē-) or the third (-ĕ-) conjugation, certainly not about whether it's an infinitive or a second-person singular future passive indicative. Saying the English verb has been borrowed from the latter makes no sense. Per utramque cavernam 19:03, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
- Well, you probably know better so you decide. — SGconlaw (talk) 19:08, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
