Fut. pret.	—	myndi (a) [verða] kallaðr	talinn

Pluperf.	-	hefði (a) verit kallaðr	talinn

These periphrase forms are rarely used in the order we have
given, they are partly separated, partly transposed by inserted
words.

Skal is used in an obligatory and assured sense. After
man or skal — verða or vera is frequently left out. Vera
is used for the present time, which has begun, verða, for the
future time, which is now beginning, man and skal for the
future time, not yet begun.

158. The Passive form in -st, has also derivatives, as:

ek	man kallast	teljast
-	munda kallast	teljast
-	hefi kallazt	talizt
-	hafða kallazt	talizt etc.

V. Particles.

comparison, they form the Comparative in -a, the Superlative

víða	víðar	viðast [[** ingen aksent: heller ikke i dansk **]]	widely
norðr	norðar	norðast	northerly
