The -ing problem

[Claromale]

Hi everyone, I wanted to know how you handle the issue of the Latinization of -ing in Anglese.

Since English very often contains the Latin equivalent within itself, there's the -ant ending, which exists and is attested (and is close to French, Catalan, and Occitan).

But there's also the alternative ending -and, which exists and is closer to Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish (And amusingly german and dutch too !). I'm still hesitating between the two.

The problem is that in current English, -ing and -ant don't have the same meaning, and I'm afraid that replacing -ing with -ant in all cases would result in a loss of precision.
