201. The i. pers. sg. pres. indie, of the Indo-<br />
Germanic verb ended either in -6 or in -mi (cp.<br />
the Greek<br />
verbs in -u and -ju, like ^pco<br />
and TiOtjfu, &c.).<br />
To the verbs<br />
in -6 belong all the regular Germanic verbs ;<br />
of the verbs<br />
in -mi only scanty remains have been preserved ; they are<br />
distinguished by the fact that the i. pers. sg. pres. indie,<br />
ends in -m which became -n in OHG. in the ninth century.<br />
Here belong the f<strong>ol</strong>lowing OHG. verbs :<br />
