du. optativ.
_2. FIRST WEAK CONJUGATION_ (=-jan=).
§ 185. The verbs of this class hav the formativ suffix =i= which
appears in the present as =j= (inf. =-jan=). This =j= and a following
=i= ar either contracted into =ei= (according to § 44, c and n. 1)
or remain =ji=. Thus we hav two subdivisions: (a) Verbs with short
stem-syllabls; e. g., =nasjan=, _to save_, or verbs in a long vowel;
as, =stôjan=, _to judge_. (b) Verbs with long stem-syllabls ending in a
consonant; e. g., =sôkjan=, _to seek_, and polysyllabic verbs; e. g.,
=mikiljan=, _to praise_.
