penge

penge (uncountable)

1. (philately) (typically penge flaw or penge error) a printing flaw on early Australian stamps where the c in pence appeared like the letter g.
   • 2017, Alan Griffiths, The 1879 First Sideface Issue of Queensland, page 21:

     The ‘PENGE’ flaw which is caused by a white defect on letter ‘C’ of PENCE giving the effect of a ‘G’. This is at # 116 on Plate I.

Originally a plural of penning (“coin”), related to English penny. Ultimately from Proto-Germanic *panningaz. Compare Icelandic peningar, Faroese pengar, Norwegian Nynorsk pengar, Norwegian Bokmål penger, and Swedish pengar.

• IPA^(key): /pɛŋə/, [ˈpʰɛŋə], [ˈpʰɛŋŋ̩]

penge (plural definite pengene)

1. money

Created during the Hungarian language reform, which took place in the 18th–19th centuries. Conversion by deliberate coinage from peng (“to ring, clink”) +‎ -e (obsolete present-participle suffix). For the semantic change, compare German Klinge (“blade”) from klingen (“to ring, clink”). In terms of form, a split took place from cognate pengő.^[1] The later slang (adjective) sense may well be a metaphorical reference to the edge of a blade.

• IPA^(key): [ˈpɛŋɡɛ]
• Hyphenation: pen‧ge
• Rhymes: -ɡɛ
