In this sentence, 'ing' is indirectly found within the Dutch word 'koning', meaning 'king'. It is part of the word and does not represent a stand-alone morpheme.
De regering heeft een nieuwe wet aangenomen.
The government has adopted a new law.
Here, 'ing' forms part of the noun 'regering', which translates to 'government' in English. It is used to denote an institution or organized body.
Hij werkt aan de beëindiging van zijn project.

The suffix 'ing' is used to derive a noun 'beëindiging', which represents the act or process of completing. It turns a verb action ('beëindig') into a noun.
