Forms: Old English eanian, Middle English einne, Middle English ene, Middle English enye, 1600s eane, 1500s– ean, 1600s ayne, 1800s eany (English regional (Somerset)). Past participle Middle English eindyd, Middle English einnyd, Middle English enyd, Middle English y-ened, Middle English y-eued (probably transmission error), 1500s eyned, 1500s–1800s eaned, 1800s a-ean'ed (English regional (Somerset)).

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with West Frisian eanje , Dutch regional (North Holland) onen , Old Swedish (late), Swedish regional öna , all in sense ‘to give birth to a lamb’ < a Germanic base cognate with classical Latin agnus lamb (see Agnus Dei n.). Compare later yean v.With the Germanic parallels compare also North Frisian (Insular) ōne , in the same sense, which apparently reflects an otherwise unattested German regional (Low German) cognate. Variant forms. The Middle English past participle form y-eued could perhaps alternatively be taken as an example of ewe v. (although this is otherwise first attested later). Old English parallel. Compare Old English geēan (adjective) (of a ewe) with young, pregnant or having recently lambed (one isolated attestation).

Now chiefly English regional (west midlands) and Welsh English.

transitive. Of a ewe: to give birth to (a lamb). Also intransitive: to lamb. Occasionally also figurative. Cf. yean v.
