(3) Héht is a relic of the reduplication in use in Gothic as in Greek, and of which Latin retains several instances; leóle from lácan to play (O. lake), is of like nature. The imperfects without an accent are of doubtful quantity. Hátan when meaning to be called, has the simple imerfect hatte, but part. past (ge-)háten. Hó makes pres. plur. hóđ, hó; imper. hóh; infin. hangan or hón, and is followed by fangan, fón to take. Cneów and the like often become cnéw &c. Gangan, gán (') to go, dón to do, and búan to inhabit, cultivate (G. bauen, L. colere) are thus conju () S. and P. gang, gae. The contracted forms are most used; e6de is the common imperfect, ge ong the poetical. (3) Comp. G. gehe, gieng, ge-gangen; thue, that, ge-than. X.-Class III. In the Third Class, a becomes æ; eá, ý, &c. in the second and third persons: the imperfect has ó. First pers. pres. scace (3) G. fahre, fährt, fuhr, ge-fahren; schlage, schlug; hebe, hob, ge hoben; scheide, schied, ge-schieden, &c. F2 Sleá makes imper. slýh or sléh; infin. sleán: thus also leán to blame, and þweán to wash; p. past þwegen, pwogen. Stande sometimes has standest, standed. XI.-Conjugation III. In the Third Conjugation the vowel remains the same in the present; but that of the imperfect is changed in the second person singular, and in the whole plural: the part. past has either the same vowel as these or one near akin. persons, Examples:-bindan to bind, drífan to drive, clúfan |
