vorkommende

Vorkommende is a participial form invested with adjectival use in some Germanic languages, typically related to the verb meaning “to occur” or “to appear.” In practice, the meaning usually translates to “occurring,” “present,” or “appearing,” depending on the language and context. The spelling and exact usage vary between languages and dialects, and the form as written with a single “o” is not the standard form in common modern usage.

In German, the standard present participle adjective is usually vorkommend or the attributive form vorkommende when

In Dutch, the corresponding verb is voorkomen (to occur, to happen, or to prevent in some contexts).

Summary: vorkommende is not a common or standard form in contemporary German or Dutch. The languages employ

describing
something
that
occurs.
The
prefix
vor-
(meaning
“before”)
with
kommen
(to
come)
gives
a
sense
of
events
that
come
before
or
occur.
The
form
vorkommende
is
uncommon
in
standard
German
and
is
generally
treated
as
a
nonstandard
variant
or
misspelling
of
vorkommende.
Correct
usage
would
typically
be
vorkommende
Ereignisse
or
vorkommende
Voraussetzungen,
depending
on
the
noun
and
sentence
structure.
The
standard
present
participle
adjective
is
voorkomend,
with
the
attributive
form
voorkomende
before
a
noun,
as
in
voorkomende
kenmerken
(occurring
features)
or
de
komende
periode
(the
upcoming
period).
The
form
verkrijgt
or
vorkommende
without
the
proper
vowel
length
is
not
standard
Dutch
and
would
be
regarded
as
a
typographical
error.
vorkommende
(German)
or
voorkomende
(Dutch)
as
the
correct
adjectives
meaning
“occurring”
or
“upcoming,”
while
vorkommende
may
appear
only
as
a
misspelling
or
in
nonstandard
varieties.
