(it has in the 1^st person us, but seems originally to have had
the vowel u).

The closed order has two manners of inflection.

1^st Cl. the one in which the change of vowel takes place
in the Indicative and Conjunctive of the Imperfect; the Part.
takes the same vowel of the main syllable as the present tense.

2^nd Cl. contains the modification of the vowel of the
Imperfect in the Part, with some exceptions.

Each of these two conjugations is subdivided in three
classes according to the modification of the vowel of the
Imperfect. There are therefore altogether 9 Conjugations in which
every regular and irregular verb is included.

122. The following table will show the distinctive feature
of each:

I. Open Order.

1^st Form.

Pres. Indic. Imperfect. Sup.

1^st Class ek ætla ætlaða ætlat

2^nd — — heyri heyrða heyrt

3^rd — — spyr spurða spurt.

II. Closed Order.

2^nd Form.

1^st Class ek drep drep drap drepit

2^nd — — ræð ráð rèð raðit

3^rd — — dreg drag dró dregit.

3^rd Form.

1^st Class ek renn rann Pl. runnum runnit

2^nd — — lít leit — litum litið

3^rd — — byð bauð — buðum boðit.

123. It must be borne in mind, that the Indicative and
Conjunctive distinguish the Present and Imperfect, the
Imperative is only used in the Present.

The Infinitive and Participle are only single forms, but
they are both declined like nouns.

The Supine is the Participle in n. g.

The Participles end generally in -st, in the oldest
language in sk (an abbreviation of sik).
