Old English genga "walker", "goer"

Can't find this noun attested alone in either Koebler and Bosworth-Toller. Hall's Concise Anglo-Saxon Dictionary has "+genga" but that means gegenga. It looks like this noun only exists as part of various compounds. The same applies to the cognates listed in this entry; Old High German gengo and Gothic 𐌲𐌰𐌲𐌲𐌾𐌰 (gaggja), both of which aren't attested unless inside compounds. 𐌷𐌻𐌿𐌳𐌰𐍅𐌹𐌲𐍃 𐌰𐌻𐌰𐍂𐌴𐌹𐌺𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃 (talk) 14:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
