German
Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German compound of Lua error in Module:affix/templates at line 38: The |lang= parameter is not used by this template. Place the language code in parameter 1 instead.. Semantically limited by the (deprecated template usage) ein to singular contexts, similar to (deprecated template usage) one another or (deprecated template usage) each other.
The combined form einander does not inflect in modern German, and may be used unchanged in dative and accusative grammatical cases. Older forms could show inflection on the second (deprecated template usage) ander portion, or on both the (deprecated template usage) ein and (deprecated template usage) ander portions. Any prepositions, which grammatically and semantically would apply to the second (deprecated template usage) ander portion of the word, were already appearing in front of the compound term in [[Template:goh]], and in New High German (i.e., modern German), prepositions are compounded onto the front of the term.[1]
