Editing Circumfix (section)

===Germanic languages===
The circumfix is probably most widely known from the [[German language|German]] [[past participle]], which is ''ge-''{{circumfix|...}}''-t'' (ge- prefix + -t suffix) for regular verbs. The verb ''spiel-en'', for example, has the participle ''ge-spiel-t''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Zingler |first1=Tim |title=Circumfixation: A semasiological approach |journal=Word Structure |date=15 March 2022 |volume=15 |pages=55–113 |doi=10.3366/word.2022.0199 |s2cid=247488121 |url=https://www.euppublishing.com/doi/full/10.3366/word.2022.0199?role=tab |access-date=29 November 2022 |language=en}}</ref> However, a number of so-called [[Germanic strong verb|''strong'' verbs]] display the suffix ''-en'' (''ge-sung-en'' 'sung'), while all verbs carrying non-initial stress come without the prefix part ''ge-'', as in ''telefonier-t'' 'telephoned'.

[[Dutch language|Dutch]] has a similar system (''spel-en'' → ''ge-speel-d'' in this case). In Dutch, the circumfix ''ge-''{{circumfix|...}}''-te'' (ge- prefix + -te suffix) can be used to form certain [[collective nouns]] (''berg'' (mountain) → ''ge-berg-te'' (mountain range)).
