Source etymology 2

Original entry ↗

noun

The letter for the ng sound /ŋ/ in Pitman shorthand.

Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventory

From Pitman em and en, which it is related to phonetically and graphically, and the sound it represents. The change in vowel probably reflects the familiar suffix -ing.
