Etimologija (anglų kalba)

From East Prussian Middle High German nerge (“spit”), related with the adjective Proto-Germanic *narwaz, whence English narrow. If nerge is an early contraction, the word may have been derived with the Germanic suffix *-ingaz commonly used in placenames (compare German -ingen). If, however, the form Nehrung (16th c.) is a later alteration of nerge, it could be an old ablaut form or derived with the Germanic suffix *-į̄ (then orginally meaning “narrowness”).
