samen

== Dutch == === Etymology === From Middle Dutch tsamen, a contraction of earlier tesamen, from te samen. Although not clear from the spelling, the ⟨s⟩ in the Middle Dutch word was pronounced as voiced /z/. That is, (te)samen was pronounced /(tə)zaːmən/, like the modern descendant tezamen and the related words gezamenlijk and verzamelen. The contracted form tsamen, however, had a voiceless /s/ because it was assimilated to the preceding /t/, creating an affricate. This affricate /ts/ was later simplified to /s/. Middle Dutch samen derives from Old Dutch saman, from Proto-West Germanic *saman, from Proto-Germanic *samanai (“together”), from Proto-Indo-European *sem- (“one, together”). Compare also sommige and soms, from the zero grade of the same Indo-European root. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsaː.mə(n)/ Hyphenation: sa‧men Rhymes: -aːmən === Adverb === samen together ==== Synonyms ==== bijeen ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== Afrikaans: saam == Middle English == === Noun === samen alternative form of samoun == Norwegian Bokmål == === Noun === samen m definite singular of same == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Noun === samen m definite singular of same == Old Dutch == === Etymology === From Proto-West Germanic *saman, from Proto-Germanic *samanai. === Adverb === samen together ==== References ==== Altniederfränkischer Psalm 2 == Old English == === Etymology === From Proto-West Germanic *saman, from Proto-Germanic *saman, *samanai. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsɑ.men/ === Adverb === samen together ==== Synonyms ==== ætgædere ætgæderum ætsamne gædere ġeador ġegædere onġeador samod samodlīċe tōgædere tōsamne ==== Related terms ==== ġesam- sam- samod- === References === Joseph Bosworth; T.
