Væskeens

Væskeens is an infrequently encountered form discussed in the context of Scandinavian language morphology. In modern standard Danish and Norwegian Bokmål, the usual possessive (genitive) of the noun væske, meaning liquid, is væskens. The form væskeens is not part of standard orthography and is rarely attested; when it appears, it is generally regarded as nonstandard, dialectal, or a typographical variant rather than a conventional grammatical form.

As a possessive construction, væskens serves the same functional role as other possessives: væskens temperatur means “the liquid’s temperature,” and væskens egenskaber means “the liquid’s properties.” If a writer or speaker uses væskeens, it should be treated with caution, since it may reflect a regional usage, historical text, or a deliberate stylistic choice rather than contemporary grammar.

Etymologically, væske comes from the same root as related Scandinavian terms for liquid or fluid, while the possessive in standard usage is formed with the suffix -s, yielding væskens. The appearance of væskeens is thus best understood as an anomalous variant rather than a regular inflection.

In practice, speakers and writers should favor væskens in Danish and Norwegian texts to avoid ambiguity or perceived nonstandard language. See also genitive constructions in Danish and Norwegian, orthography notes on væske, and discussions of dialectal variation in Scandinavian possessives.
