## Middle Irish
### Etymology

From Old Irish ingen, from Proto-Celtic *angʷīnā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃nṓgʰs.
Originally an ā-stem in Old Irish, reinterpreted as an n-stem in Middle Irish, as the accusative/dative singular ingin, accusative plural ingne, genitive plural ingen and dative plural ingnib could belong to either declension class. The nominative singular inga is thus analogical to that of original n-stems like menma (“understanding”) and goba (“smith”).

#### Pronunciation

* IPA: /ˈiŋɡə/

#### Noun

inga f (genitive ingen)
* nail (fingernail, toenail)

##### Descendants

* Irish: ionga
* Manx: ingin
* Scottish Gaelic: ionga
