The undiphthongized form may be either dialectal or due to the chiefly learned use of the word. (The hypothesis that -g- fell before diphthongization and the monophthong was then protected by the final -r is unlikely, because loss of intervocalic /ɣ/ is a more recent development.) === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /tir/ === Noun === tier (plural tiere or tiers) tiger leopard Synonyms: bergtier, luiperd == Danish == === Etymology 1 === From ti (“ten”) +‎ -er. ==== Alternative forms ==== 10'er ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈtiːˀər/, [ˈtˢiˀɐ] ==== Noun ==== tier c (singular definite tieren, plural indefinite tiere) ten (the card between the nine and jack in a given suit) ten (a monetary denomination worth ten units) number ten (a person or a thing defined by the number ten, e.g. a bus-line) (in the plural) tens (the second decade of a century, like the 1910s or 2010s) ===== Declension ===== ===== See also ===== === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Pronunciation ==== IPA(key): /ˈtiːər/, [ˈtˢiːɐ] Homophone: tiger ==== Verb ==== tier present tense of tie === References === “tier” in Den Danske Ordbog == Dutch == === Pronunciation === Rhymes: -ir === Verb === tier inflection of tieren: first-person singular present indicative (in case of inversion) second-person singular present indicative imperative === Anagrams === riet == Ladin == === Etymology === From Middle High German tier, from Old High German tior, from Proto-West Germanic *deuʀ, from Proto-Germanic *deuzą, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰewsóm. === Noun === tier m (plural tieres) (gherdëina, badiot) animal A person who has a quality thought of as animalistic, such as ferocity, strength, hairiness, etc. == Norwegian Bokmål == === Noun === tier m (definite singular tieren, indefinite plural tiere, definite plural tierne) a ten kroner coin something or someone that has the number ten (ti) === Verb === tier present of tie === References === “tier” in The Bokmål Dictionary. == Romansh == === Etymology === Borrowed from German Tier. === Noun === tier m (plural tiers) (Sursilvan) animal ==== Synonyms ==== (Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, Surmiran, Vallader) animal (Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Surmiran) biestg (Rumantsch Grischun, Sutsilvan) bestga (Sursilvan) bestia (Puter, Vallader) bes-cha
