PG *hanhaną, OE hōn VIIc and weak hangian 2, both of which combined with the ON causative hengja 1 “hang, suspend” to become ME hngen, MnE hang; Dutch hangen, German hängen (following confusion with the causative); further weak Dutch hunkeren “crave,” MnE hanker; Latin cūnctārī “linger; hesitate.” The present indicative is class 3 weak, and sometimes so is the preterite indicative. Preterite variant hékk. Note the absence of palatal mutation in the participle (contrast VIIc, ganga VIIc.
