Abstract

Until the present day, the phenomenon of noun incorporation has been
demonstrated for Middle and Modern Frisian, but not yet for Old Frisian.
We have now found a clear Old Frisian example in a text in the Fivelgo
manuscript (ca. 1440). The attestation is the more compelling, since it
contains all the characteristics of Type II in Mithun’s (1984) hierarchy.
