[edit] Merge with "apocopation"

I suggest merging this article with apocopation, which seems to describe exactly the same thing. Please discuss at Talk:Apocopation. -Pgan002 05:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Should this not also be merged with clipping (lexicography)? --SigPig 04:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Does apocopation include words which are pronounced (but not spelled) the same as the parent? Is "hi" an apocopation for "high" or just an abbreviation?

I'm pretty sure that "morning" was derived from "morrow" and "morn", which came first, in the pattern of "evening". The Old English was "morgen."--Jr mints 21:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
