-ene

1. (chiefly Kent, Southern or West Midland) Used to form the genitive plural of nouns.

   Synonyms: -es (more common), -e (somewhat less common)

• Already in late Old English, there was a tendency to extend the suffix -ena from weak (n-stem) nouns to other noun classes, especially in the noun dæġ (“day”); for instance, dagena is found for earlier daga (“days'”).^[1] This trend continues and reaches completion in Middle English; therefore, -ene can be suffixed to nouns of any Old English inflectional class, as in kingene king (“king of kings”) for more conservative kinge king (Old English cy(ni)nga cy(ni)ng).^[2][3]
• However, -ene is itself supplanted by -es, extended from the genitive singular and nominative/accusative plural. This replacement begins very early, meaning that -ene is mostly nonexistent in East Midland and Northern Middle English (including Early Scots) and recessive in the other dialects, with -es becoming increasingly predominant after the Early Middle English period just like the nominative/accusative plural ending. However, weak nouns (n-stems) tended to preserve -ene insofar as they survived, as it could be identified with the nominative/accusative plural ending -en in line with a Middle English tendency to efface all plural case distinctions,^[4] though the suffix was often disyllabic in verse, demonstrating that this tendency was not total.^[5]
• Especially in later Middle English, genitive plurals formed with -ene increasingly acquired an "adjectival colouring", becoming influenced by and undergoing partial conflation with the adjectival suffix -en, which thus acquires a form -ene. A strict boundary between denominal possessive adjectives formed with -en and nouns inflected with -ene is therefore impossible to draw.^[6][7][8] For a more complete development of an adjectival suffix from a genitive plural, see Old French francor (“French”) and German -er.
• This ending is especially found with semantically animate nouns, in contrast with -e, which is chiefly applied to inanimate nouns.^[9]
• This suffix tends to induce the same alternations in the noun stem as the plural suffix -es, as in dawene (“days'”).
