Vergissmeinnicht

• Vergißmeinnicht (superseded)

Univerbation of vergiss +‎ mein +‎ nicht, literally “forget me not”, using the archaic construction of vergessen with a genitive object (contemporary German would be vergiss mich nicht). The flower is considered a symbol of loyalty, friendship and remembrance.

• IPA^(key): /fərˈɡɪsmaɪ̯(n)ˌnɪç(t)/, /fɛr-/, [fɐˈɡɪs.maɪ̯.nɪçt], [fɛɐ̯-], [-maɪ̯n-], [-ˌnɪç]
• Degemination is even commoner in this word than otherwise, i.e. only one /n/ is usually realised. The loss of the final /t/ is chiefly informal (cf. nicht).
