Etymology

From Middle High German egen, *ecken, from Old High German eggen, ekken. The modern consonantism -gg- instead of expected -ck- is most readily explained as Low German as some sources do, but this seems not generally accepted (compare Middle Low German eggen).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈɛɡən/
  • (file)

Verb

eggen (third-person singular simple present eggt, past tense eggte, past participle geeggt, auxiliary haben)
