151. The third Class has the following irregularities:

svær	sverja	{	svarði	svörðum	sverði	}	svarit,	to swear
			sór	sórum	sœri
stend	standa		stoð	-um	stœði		staðit,	to stand
slæ	slá		sló	-gum	slœgi		slegit,	to strike
flæ	flá		fló	-gum	flœgi		flegit,	to flay
hlæ	hlæja		hló	-gum	hlœgi		hlegit,	to laugh
dey	deyja		dó	-gum	dœgi		dáit,	to die
spý	spýja		spjó	-m	—		spúit,	to spit.

In the Sing. Imperf. we find, although rarely

        slóg, flóg, lóg, dóg.

The g is more frequently dropped in the Plur. of the Conj.
Imperfect, as:

        slóum, dón, hlœi (Fms. 2, 152).

152. Some verbs are quite irregular in the plural of the
Imperfect, Indicative and Conjunctive, as:

vex	vaxa	óx	uxum	yxi	vaxit,	to wax, grow
eyk	auka	jók	jukum	jyki	aukit,	to increase
eys	ausa	jós	jusum	jysi	ausit,	to sprinkle
hleyp	hlaupa	hljóp	hlupum	hlypi	hlaupit,	to run, urge
bý	búa	bjó	bjuggum	bjyggi	búit,	to dwell
högg	höggva	hjó	hjuggum	hjyggi	höggvit,	to hew.

We also find óxum, hljópum, but this form is spurious,
as the Conjunct. œxi, hljœpi is not used, but only yxi,
hlypi, which presupposes in the plur. of the Indicat. uxum,
hlupum.

153. The 1^st form of the 3^rd Class has also the following
irregular verbs:

finn	finna	fann	fundum	fyndi	fundit,	to find
bind	binda	batt	bundum	byndi	bundit	to bind
vind	vinda	vatt	undum	yndi	undit	to wind
sting	stinga	stakk	stúngum	stýngi	stúngit	to sting
spring	springa	sprakk	sprúngum	sprýngi	sprúngit,	to split
geld	gjalda	galt	guldum	gyldi	goldit,	to be worth, pay
skelf	skjálfa	skalf	skulfum	skylfi	skolfit,	to shake
hverf	hverfa	hvarf	hurfum	hyrfi	horfit,	to diminish.

The last are regular with the exception of the accent in skjàlfa, [[** NB vel annen aksent enn 2 linjer over?: dansk har acute i begge! **]]
such is also the auxilliary verb:

        ek verð, at verða, varð, urðum, yrði, orðit.
