Due to gaps in Chinese historical records, the exact history of the state of E is uncertain.

Usually all words of the noun phrase are suffixed, unless the word already ends in e (e.g. smalle quainte towne for "small quaint town"). Commonly used with ye olde and other archaic terms. The consonant at the end of the word is often doubled if it is preceded by a historically short vowel, according to the rules of English spelling (e.g. hogge for "hog", bidde for "bid", etc.).

語源 2

From Proto-West Germanic *-ī. Beyond that, generally from Proto-Germanic *-ijaz, but also partly merged with *-jaz and athematic *-iz (compare Proto-Norse -ᛁᛉ (-iʀ)). Note though that -wintre is from Proto-Germanic *-wintruz, since Proto-Germanic u-stem adjectives became ja-stems in West Germanic. Other suffixes derived from u-stem nouns, such as -flēre, might also have been zero derivations in Proto-Germanic.

A combination of multiple sources:

• In the accusative singular, from Proto-West Germanic *-ā, from Proto-Germanic *-ǭ, from Proto-Indo-European *-ā́m, from *-eh₂ (eh₂-stem suffix) +‎ *-m (accusative singular suffix).
• In the genitive singular, from Proto-West Germanic *-ā, from Proto-Germanic *-ōz, from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂s, from *-eh₂ (eh₂-stem suffix) +‎ *-s (genitive singular suffix).
• In the accusative plural, from Proto-West Germanic *-ā, from Proto-Germanic *-ōz, from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂m̥s, from *-eh₂ (eh₂-stem suffix) +‎ *-ms (accusative plural suffix).

接尾辞

-e

1. Forms the plural and weak singular of adjectives.
2. (Early Middle English, uncommon) Forms the strong dative singular of adjectives.
3. (Early Middle English, rare) Forms the strong accusative singular of adjectives.

使用する際の注意点

• This suffix is mostly only added to monosyllabic adjectives, though especially in Early Middle English, it is often also found with disyllabic adjectives which either end in /əl/, /əm/, /ən/, /ər/, end in /iː/ and have a short root syllable, or which are stressed on the final syllable; in the first case, the /ə/ of the root's second syllable is dropped when the suffix is added. Conversely, its use tends to be abandoned even after monosyllabic adjectives in later Middle English due to the gradual disappearance of final /ə/; it is never found in Northern Middle English, where final /ə/ has been lost even in the first literary records.
• In varieties of early Middle English which preserve grammatical gender, this suffix is sometimes restricted to either masculine or neuter adjectives as a strong dative singular (Old English -um > -an) and to feminine adjectives when used as a strong accusative singular (Old English -e), though it is often lost here due to the effacement of the distinction between nominative and accusative cases in nouns.
• Like the plural suffix -es, this suffix tends to induce stem alternations.

1. Forms the dative singular of nouns

使用する際の注意点

• Rather than being a true dative (i.e. a case marking the indirect object), the Middle English dative usually marks the object of a preposition.
• The dative singular ending is never compulsory in Middle English and is progressively given up over the course of the period; becoming mostly restricted to fixed phrases after the Early Middle English period. At all stages, its optionality allows it to strategically deployed in poetry to meet metrical requirements. As with the adjectival suffix -e, the absence of final /ə/ in Northern Middle English means it is not found there.
