# [[nine]]

==North Frisian==

===Alternative forms===
* {{alt|frr|siie||Mooring}}
* {{alt|frr|See||Sylt}}

===Etymology===
{{dercat|frr|gem-pro|ine-pro}}
From {{inh|frr|ofs|sē}}, from {{inh|frr|gmw-pro|*saiwi}}. The distinction between “sea” (feminine) and “lake” (masculine) is based on {{der|frr|de|See}}, where it developed through mixing of Low and High German usages. Older North Frisian, like {{cog|gml|-}}, had only the feminine. There may have been another word for “lake”, although the North Frisian region has no natural lakes of dimensions that would necessitate to distinguish them from ponds etc.

===Noun===
{{head|frr|noun|g=m|plural|sian}}

# {{lb|frr|Föhr-Amrum}} [[lake]]

===Noun===
{{head|frr|noun|g=f|plural|sian}}

# {{lb|frr|Föhr-Amrum}} [[sea]]

====Usage notes====
* The reduced article {{m|frr|a}} may still be used with the feminine; cf. {{m|frr|at}} for notes. This blurs the gender distinction. Some speakers therefore go a step further and use the Germanized form {{m|frr|see}} for the masculine.
