take in the 2nd
and 3
rd
person not -r, but in the 2"
d
-t, and
retain in the 3
rd
the termination of the first, as:
ek les, bu lest, hann les, Imp. las, Sup. lesit;
ek blass, bu falsest, hann blses, Imp. bles; Sup. bla"sit;
ek ris, bii rist, hann ris, Imp. r e i s , Sup. r i s i t ;
ekfrys, bii fryst, hann fry s, Imp. fraus, Sup. fro sit.
No doubt this belongs to the modern icelandic language, not to
the genuine old Norsk, in which the termination was without
doubt r, contracted with s into ss:
ek eys, bu eiss (Lokagl. 4), hann eiss, ver ausum,
Imp. jos, Sup. a us it. Also:
ek vex, bii vex (not bu vext), Snorra E. 114, hann
vex, sst. ver vflxum, Imp. v6x or 6x, Sup. vaxit.
The modern language applies this rule generally to those words,
whose principal letter is r as:
eg fer, pii fer 5, hann fer, for
ek fer, pii ferr, hann ferr,
which is generally the rule in the ancient language.
146. The 2nd
form, If Class, contains some irregular
verbs, as:
kem
sef
get
get
et
veg
ligg
