Together with the verbs ligge, sitte and stå, the verb henge is regarded as a posture verb, but some of it’s functional peculiarities makes that it often is considered on a separate basis. Analysis grounded on S. S. Maslova-Lashanskaya’s delexicalisation process description leads to a suggestion that the weaker gram- maticalisation of henge in comparison both with the Norwegian basic posture verbs and with its English counterpart may be rooted in its lexical notion.
