Usage notes

  • The normal plural is Bögen. This form is marked as southern in many dictionaries, but has now become the predominant form in the northern half of the language area, too.
  • The unchanged plural Bogen is still predominant in some compound words (such as Ellenbogen or Regenbogen), but less common otherwise.
