The word is not originally present in Upper German. The standard literature is inconsistent on whether it was restricted to Central German or if it is also old in Low German (compare late Middle Low German hager). Further origin unknown. Kroonen (2013, 199) proposes descent from Proto-Germanic *hagra- (“slim”) and thence from a PIE -ro adjective from a root Proto-Indo-European *keḱ-, cognate to Lithuanian kašėti (“to become slim”), which he reconstructs as being from a stative form in *-eh₁ . He compares Proto-Germanic *hungruz (“hunger”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈhaːɡɐ/ === Adjective === hager (strong nominative masculine singular hagerer, comparative hagerer or hagrer, superlative am hagersten) gaunt, lean, haggard ==== Declension ==== === Further reading === “hager” in Duden online “hager”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) == Norwegian Bokmål == === Noun === hager m indefinite plural of hage
