Etymology
From, from , a strong verb with past forms , , from , from. The present stem fang- is derived from the past forms. This development spread from to Central German dialects of early modern German (compare already  alongside ). The same happened in (< hāhen), in which, however, the development was reinforced by the existence of two variant verbs and therefore established itself much faster than it did in fangen. (Still today is used in many dialects of Swiss German.) Cognate to 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
