Spinnende

Spinnende is a word found in several North Germanic languages that functions as the present participle of the verb meaning to spin and as an adjective describing something that is in the act of spinning. It is formed from the root spinne/spinne and originates in Proto-Germanic *spinnaną, with cognates in related languages such as German spinnen and Dutch spinnen.

In textile and manufacturing contexts, spinnende appears in historical and technical descriptions to denote processes and equipment involved in turning fibers into yarn. This includes devices such as spinning wheels, spindle-driven spinning frames, and modern industrial spinning systems. The term can also appear in compounds describing fibers or yarns as being in a spun state or as undergoing rotation, depending on the language's word-formation rules.

In modern usage, the English-language equivalent is typically spinning or spun. The word is primarily of interest in linguistic or regional textile-historical texts rather than in standard contemporary English.
