Where this word comes from

Likely originally a pronunciation spelling of 'n, 'ne, representing final devoicing, then generalized to other forms of the article. Possibly influenced by mmh and the spelling of English nasal interjections such as hngh. Possibly also motivated by a dispreference for single-letter words, which are not typical for German orthography (compare also the similarly proscribed merging of 'n into 'nen).
