Gerunds[]
Gerunds are a form of verb used like a noun. In Fleutespräch, it is the infinitive stem (infinitive with endings removed) + en form

| Dative | unge | ungß |
| Accusative | ungen | ing |
| Ablative/Instrumental | unge | ungß |
| Vocative | ung | ungen |
The en and the ung terminations signify slightly different things. The en ending signifies the action itself, while the ung ending corresponds to something more concrete.

Example text[]
Lord's Prayer[]
Nostrer Pater, qui in Himmelo bis: Dein Nomme sacrificetur; Dein Regnum venet; Deine Mandae faciantur, In Himmelo Erdeique itet. Heudie gebe uns nostre diurnum Panem, Et absolve neuch von nostre Debitä, Ven nos qui neuch debittäverunt. Non induca neuch ad Tentationem, Sed neuch expungi Diablo. Car Deine sind Regnum, Potentia, Gloriaque, Von et ad infini. Amen.
