*** Etymology
[en] From [en], possibly by analogy with [non], though this is unlikely, as
the word is not attested before the end of the 16th century and was
historically unknown in Scots and the traditional dialect of Northern England,
where one would expect Old Norse influence to be the strongest (these
varieties traditionally employed [en] instead). Replaced [enm], [enm].

very nearly going over in the corner only for the video referee to decide his
foot was in touch. But Armitage did get on the score-sheet five minutes
later, Ben Foden straightening and putting the London Irish man in.}}
