-eren

Appendix:Variations of "eren" Dutch Etymology 1 From earlier nl -er, from nl dum -er, the dative plural plural of which was dum -eren (compare de -er -ern). The use for all cases in Modern Dutch is probably due to a desire to over-illustrate the plural (that is nl -er + nl -en, comparing the dialectal byform nl -ers). The simple form of the suffix can still be seen in many compounds such as nl kindertijd, and in the formation of plural diminutives (nl kindertjes, nl radertjes). Compare en -ren.

The three nouns ending in a single vowel + -d- lengthen the vowel: nl bladeren, nl gelederen, nl raderen. Etymology 2 From nl dum -eren, from nl frm -er or nl fro -er, from nl la -āre.
