from skot, not from skaut. Related languages show the
same, as for instance the english
I bite, bit, I shoot, shot, with a bit, a shot, as nouns;
such is also the german:
beisse, biss, schiesse, schoss and the nouns: Biss, Schuss.
Sometimes the German language lengthens the vowel as in
steige, stieg; biete, bot;
but even these lengthened Imperfects harmonize with the Old
Norsk nouns:
stig, boð, not steig, bauð.
But transitions occur from
ei into i
au (ey) into o (u)
even in the old norsk formation of words, as:
veik-t – vik-na; baugr, beygi – bogi, bugr.
163. B) Adjectives which show in the Active as well as
Passive that the extention of the verb is possible. These are
so much more remarkable, as they have entirely disapeared [[** NB sic = -pp- ?? **]]
in the modern language, as:
dræp-t, dræp-r, dræp, what one may kill;
næm-t, to take easily, contagious,
á-fengr, which is easily received, goes into the head, intoxicates;
al-geng-t, (german gäng und gäbe) current, usual, from
geng, gekk, gengum;
fœr-t, navigable, from fer, fór;
upp-tœk-t, takeable, from tek, tók.
fleyg-t, (german flügge) fledged, from flýg, flaug;
neyt-t, useful, from nýt, naut etc.
164. C) Verbs, which instead of the unobjective [[** sic, = unactive e.l.?: dansk Gjo. = gjerningsord/objekt? som antage indvirkende betydning istf gjenstandsløs (betydning?) **]] take the
active signification, or if the root were active they take the
figurative signification as:
svæfi, to fall asleep, from sef, svaf, sváfum;
sæti, to watch, from sit, sat, sátum;
hængi, to hang up, from hangi, hekk, hengum;
felli, to fell, from fell, fell-um;
breyti, to alter, from brýt, braut;
neyti, to eat etc.
