beofung
Old English
Alternative forms
- bifung
Etymology
From Proto-West Germanic *bibungu. Equivalent to bifian + -ung. The -eo- is from back umlaut, which didn't affect bifian because its second syllable lacked a back vowel. The alternative form bifung has its -i- leveled in from bifian.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈbe͜o.funɡ/, [ˈbe͜o.vuŋɡ]
