• “inga” in Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu | Malay Literary Reference Centre, Kuala Lumpur: Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, 2017.

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”).
