en- -en

== English == === Alternative forms === em- -en (before b-, p-, or m-) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɛnˈ- -ən/ === Circumfix === en- -en Forms transitive verbs denoting an increase in, or intensification of, the quality denoted by the enclosed word. ==== Related terms ==== Note: Not all of these words listed were etymologically constructed with the en- -en circumfix. Those confirmed to have been so constructed are marked with obeli (†s); those confirmed to have been formed otherwise are marked with asterisks (*s); and those whose origins are uncertain are unmarked. === See also === a- -ing === References === Most dictionaries do not consider the concept of a circumfix to be valid for production rules in current English, and since en- -en can be analyzed as a redundant combination of the prefix en- and the suffix -en, most dictionaries do not have a separate entry for it. === Anagrams === Nene, neen, nene, nēnē
