ringen (class 3 strong, third-person singular present ringt, past tense rang, past participle gerungen, past subjunctive ränge, auxiliary haben)

1. (intransitive) to wrestle
2. (intransitive) to struggle
   • 1918, Elisabeth von Heyking, “Aus dem Lande der Ostseeritter”, in Zwei Erzählungen, Phillipp Reclam jun., page 100:

     Es war als rängen beständig zwei Mächte um sie, als würde sie wehrlos von ihnen hin und her gerissen.

     It was as if two powers struggled over her continuously, as if she was torn to and fro by them defenselessly.

3. (transitive) to wring (for example “hands”; but not “clothes”, for that see wringen)

• “ringen” in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache
• “ringen” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon
• “ringen” in Duden online
• “ringen” in OpenThesaurus.de

From Old English hrinġan, from Proto-West Germanic *hringijan, from Proto-Germanic *hringijaną.

The pronunciation with /ɡ/ is due to levelling from the Old English past tense hringde, while strong forms are from analogy with class 3 verbs such as singen and springen.

• IPA^(key): /ˈrinɡən/, /ˈriːnɡən/
