In attempts to try to produce archaic language, the suffix is sometimes changed to -ne in all positions, producing historically incorrect forms like "kvinnorne". Etymology 2 From sv non -na, from sv gem-pro *-naną. Suffix sv suffix -en; Used with some adjectives or verbal stems to form inchoative verbs sv trött tired tröttna to tiren, become tired Usage notes Inchoative verb The suffix -na may be analysed as two morphemes (-n (inchoative verb stem) + -a (infinitive)). Traditionally the a's near the ends of the Swedish first declension verb forms have been regarded as part of the suffixes, but nowadays it is more common to see it described as part of the stems of these verbs, since all endings not beginning with an a are extinct or considered heavily archaic.
