Usage notes
Already in late Old English, there was a tendency to extend the suffix ang -ena from weak (n-stem) nouns to other noun classes, especially in the noun ang dæġ day; for instance, ang dagena is found for earlier ang daga days'.2 3.9-3.11 73-75 This trend continues and reaches completion in Middle English; therefore, -ene can be suffixed to nouns of any Old English inflectional class, as in enm kingene enm king king of kings for more conservative enm kinge enm king (ang cyninga cy(ni)nga ang cyning cy(ni)ng).-en(e) suf MED13735 25 October 20245 156-157 40
However, -ene is itself supplanted by enm -es genitive plural, 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 enm -en noun plural ending in line with a Middle English tendency to efface all plural case distinctions,167 though the suffix was often disyllabic in verse, demonstrating that this tendency was not total.5 235
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 enm -en adjectival, which thus acquires a form enm -ene adjectival. A strict boundary between denominal possessive adjectives formed with en -en adjectival and nouns inflected with -ene is therefore impossible to draw.-en suf MED13522.5 25 October 20247 209 64Cases Genitive 73 For a more complete development of an adjectival suffix from a genitive plural, see fro francor French and de -er.
This ending is especially found with semantically animate nouns, in contrast with enm -e, which is chiefly applied to inanimate nouns.2 5.3 49
This suffix tends to induce the same alternations in the noun stem as the plural suffix enm -es plural, as in enm dawene days'.

enm ang -enne, ang -anne (with reduction of the geminate in unstressed position), from enm gmw-pro *-annjē, gmw-pro *-jannjē, gmw-pro *-ōnnjē, possibly equivalent to enm -en -e infinitival dative singular uninflected infinitive dative singular 1.

Suffix

Usage notes
The inflected infinitive can be used whenever enm to precedes in the dialects where it occurs, though it is never mandatory and is gradually ousted by the uninflected infinitive during the Early Middle English period,68 718 94 79 becoming restricted to ever less verbs, especially enm to infinitive enm donne to do.312-314 Occasional occurrences in later Middle English mostly follow certain monosyllabic vowel-final verbal roots:Verbs Infinitive 512-513 as in to enm bene ("to be", but Chaucer has to enm been to be), to enm done ("to do", still the most common), to enm sene to see, and to enm seyne to say;226 only in Late Middle English does it disappear due to the loss of the final schwa distinguishing the inflected and uninflected infinitives.
Some Early Middle English texts retain -nne immediately following a stressed vowel (enm to infinitive enm donne) while exhibiting -ene in other positions (enm to infinitive enm speokene); 5 190 very early Middle English instances of -enne in other positions represent either influence from the Old English written tradition or because the simplification of unstressed geminates was yet incomplete. Where -nne was retained, it probably occasioned shortening of the stem vowel (e.g. /tɔ ˈdɔnnə/); its belated replacement with -ne likely represents levelling of the stem vowel from the uninflected infinitive rather than leveling of -ene from other inflected infinitives since they had become rare (see above).

Suffix
nb suffix
An inflectional suffix forming the definite plural of most masculine and feminine nouns and many neuter nouns, corresponding approximately to English the.
nb båt boat → nb båtene the boats
nb kvinne woman → nb kvinnene the women
nb hus house → nb husene the houses
nb bok book → nb bøkene the books
nb mann man → nb mennene the men
Usage notes
Most masculine and feminine nouns use nb -ene in the definite plural:
nb båt boat — nb båter boats — nb båtene the boats
nb kvinne woman — nb kvinner women — nb kvinnene the women
nb sak case, matter — nb saker cases, matters — nb sakene the cases, matters
Although the indefinite plural of many nouns ends in nb -er, the definite plural normally ends in nb -ene, not *nb -erene:
nb bil car — nb biler cars — nb bilene the cars
nb venn friend — nb venner friends — nb vennene the friends
Any irregular plural stem or vowel change is normally retained before the ending:
nb bok book — nb bøker books — nb bøkene the books
nb hånd hand — nb hender hands — nb hendene the hands
nb mann man — nb menn men — nb mennene the men
nb øye eye — nb øyne eyes — nb øynene the eyes
Many neuter nouns permit both nb -a and nb -ene in the definite plural:
nb hus house — nb hus — nb husa or nb husene the houses
nb tun farmyard, courtyard — nb tun — nb tuna or nb tunene the farmyards, courtyards
The permitted definite-plural forms must be checked for each noun. Some borrowed or irregular nouns have additional plural patterns.
When the plural stem ends in unstressed ⟨e⟩, only nb -ne is visibly added:
nb lærer teacher — nb lærere teachers — nb lærerne the teachers
nb søster sister — nb søstre sisters — nb søstrene the sisters
nb datter daughter — nb døtre daughters — nb døtrene the daughters
When a definite plural noun is preceded by an attributive adjective or demonstrative, Bokmål normally uses double definiteness:
nb de store husene the large houses
nb disse gamle bøkene these old books
The suffix is pronounced identically to nb -ende present-participle suffix in pronunciations where the ⟨d⟩ in nb -ende is silent.
Not every word ending in the letters ⟨ene⟩ is necessarily synchronically formed with this suffix.

nb båtene the boats

nb dagene the days

Etymology
The feminine ending comes from two distinct but related endings: nn non -urnar and non -irnar, the nominative/accusative, definite, plural ending of feminine ōn-stem and i-stem nouns respectively. The distinction is maintained in many dialects, but since the spelling reform of 2012 the distinction is no longer made in writing.
The masculine ending comes principally from nn non -irnir, the nominative, definite, plural ending of some masculine i-stem nouns. Some dialects may also have inherited the accusative form non -ina. It is often interchangeable with the much more common nn -ane.
