CONJUGATION
LESSON VIII.
STRONG AND WEAK.
25. Verbal stem. The verbal stem is the infinitive
minus the final unaccented e: less from at Icese; s^riv
from at strive. In verbs which do not have this -e, the
stem and the infinitive are alike: bo from at bo (to
dwell) ;
se from at se (to see).
26. Conjugations. There are two conjugations,
the strong and the Tvea^.
1. The strong conjugation forms its imperfect tense
by a change of the root vowel: skrive skrcv; vsere
var; synge
sang.
2. The weak conjugation forms its imperfect tense
by adding endings
to the verbal stem.
For convenience, the verbs of this conjugation are classed
as follows:
Class I adds et for imp. tense, and et for perf.
participle: at elske elsket elsket.
Class II adds te for imp. tense, and t for perf.
participle: at laese laeste laest.
Class III adds dde for imp. tense, and dd for perf.
participle: at bo bodde bodd.
In vocabularies, weak verbs will be designated by these
class numbers; strong and irregular verbs will have imp.
tense and perf. part, given in full.
27. The present tense is formed by adding
the infinitive: at elsfye elsfyer; at l
