NOTE 1. The 3d pers. sg. imper. is preservd in =lausjadau=,

ῥυσάσθω; Mt. XXVII, 43 (cp. § 170, n. 3). The 3d pers. pl. would be

=lausjandau= according to § 192, n. 1.

NOTE 2. The 2nd pers. sg. imper. =stauei= (inf. =stôjan=) is

suggested by the prt. =stauida= according to § 26.

§ 187. Further exampls of this very numerous class: (a) 1. verbs with

short stem-syllabls: =waljan=, _to choose_; =ga-tamjan=, _to tame_;

=uf-þanjan=, _to strech_; =warjan=, _to forbid_; =lagjan=, _to lay_;

=us-wakjan=, _to awake_; =satjan=, _to set_; =wasjan=, _to vest,

clothe_; =hazjan=, _to praise_; =huljan=, _to cuver_; 2. stems ending

in a vowel: =taujan= (imper. sg. =tawei=, prt. =tawida=, pp. =tawiþs=),

_to do_; =*straujan=, _to strew_ (only the prt. =strawida= and pp.

=strawiþs= ar extant); =qiujan= (=qiwida=), _to quicken_; =ana-niujan=

(=-niwida=), _to renew_; =siujan=, _to sew_; --concerning =*môjan= (in

=afmôjan=, _to weary_) and =*dôjan= (in =afdôjan=, _to tire out_), s. §

26, a.

(b) verbs with long stems and polysyllabic verbs: =mêljan=, _to write_;

=mêrjan=, _to preach_; =sipônjan=, _to be a disciple_; =hnaiwjan=, _to

abase_; =hrainjan=, _to clean_; =hausjan=, _to hear_; =þiuþjan=, _to

bless_; --=brannjan=, _to burn_; =sandjan=, _to send_; =namnjan=, _to

name_; =andbahtjan=, _to serv_; =glitmunjan=, _to glitter_; =haúrnjan=,

_to blow the horn_.

NOTE 1. =kaupatjan=, _to buffet_, has the prt. =kaupasta= (without

=i=; cp. § 75), but the pp. =kaupatiþs= (cp. § 209, n. 1). The

verbs =lauhatjan=, _to shine_; =swôgatjan=, _to sigh_, occur in the

prs. only.

NOTE 2. Sum primary verbs with =j= in the present stem inflect in

the present like the weak verbs of the first class. In the prt.

they ar either strong or weak without the formativ suffix =i=. Cp.

§ 206, a (§ 209).

NOTE 3. Only two verbs assume occasionally forms of the 2nd weak

conjugation: =hausjan=, _to hear_, beside =hausjôn= (occurs several

times); pp. =un-beistjôþs=, _unlevend_, but =ga-beistjan=, _to

leven_.

NOTE 4. Like the 2nd pers. du. and pl. imper. of =nasjan= go the

interjectional =hirjats=, =hirjiþ=. The sg. =hiri= is irregular.

Cp. § 219.

§ 188. Verbs of this class ar derived from verbs, adjectivs and

substantivs. Their meaning is predominantly causativ. Causativs from

strong ablaut verbs hav the vowel of the prt. sg.; e. g., =wandjan=,

_to wend, turn_ (< =windan=); =dragkjan=, _to giv to drink_ (<

=drigkan=); =ur-raisjan=, _to raiz_ (< =ur-reisan=, _to arize_);

=ga-drausjan=, _to cause to fall_ (< =driusan=).--Also verbs derived

from adjectivs and substantivs show, with few exceptions, a causativ

meaning; e. g., =háuhjan=, _to make high_ (< =háuhs=); =hailjan=, _to

heal_ (< =hails=); =warmjan=, _to warm_ (< =warms=); --=dailjan=, _to

deal_ (< =dails=); =taiknjan=, _to make a sign, to show_ (< =taikns=,

_a token_); etc.--Only a few hav an intransitiv meaning, e. g.,

=sipônjan=, _to be a disciple_; =faúrhtjan=, _to fear_.

_3. SECOND WEAK CONJUGATION_ (=-ôn=).

§ 189. The formativ suffix (=ô=) occurs in this class not only in

the prt., but also in the hole prs., and absorbs the initial vowels

appearing in the endings of the strong verb. Paradim: =salbôn=, _to

anoint_.
