  • gripe Babies can have a 'gripeing pain' when they have 'gripe'. 'Gripeing' in this use is an adjective but it is also a present participle of the verb 'to gripe'.

  • This is a misspelling. Note that the correct spelling is griping. As a general rule, verbs that end in a silent -e, drop the -e when the ending -ing is added. There are exceptions (the only ones that come to mind are dyeing, to distinguish it from dying, and ageing, though here many prefer aging) – but "gripeing" is not one of them.

  • Agree with rolmop, by analogy with pipe and piping, it seems griping is preferable as a verb formation from gripe.
