moeg

Etymology
From, , from. Probably a backformation from the inflected forms of by analogy with such paradigms as  >,  >  (with regular loss of intervocalic ). On the other hand, the form also occurs in Brabantian and Flemish dialects, which have a palatal pronunciation of  and where therefore these forms are considered backformations from  (i.e.  >  > ; cf. also 🇨🇬). Perhaps this southern was reinforced by the internal Afrikaans analogy.
