tengja

== Icelandic == === Etymology === From Old Norse tengja, from Proto-Germanic *tangija- (“to pinch together”), directly cognate with Old English tengan (“to press, hasten”).

Related to töng (“pincers”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtʰeiɲca/ Rhymes: -eiɲca === Verb === tengja (weak verb, third-person singular past indicative tengdi, supine tengt) to connect, to join, to link together [with accusative ‘something’] to relate, to associate [with accusative ‘something’ and dative ‘to/with something’] ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== tengisögn tengja við tengdur vera tengdur === References ===
