NOTE. No exampls of the 3. pers. sg. and pl. imper. ar extant, but
they may be safely inferd like other forms; e. g., the dual forms,
or the 2nd pers. sg. midl: =salbôza=, =salbôzau=, which hav been
merely inferd according to the other conjugations.
§ 190. The number of verbs of the 2nd class is greater than that of
the 3d, but much smaller than that of the verbs in =-jan=. Exampls:
=mitôn=, _to think_; =ƕarbôn=, _to wander_; =fiskôn=, _to fish_;
=sidôn=, _to practis_; =idreigôn=, _to repent_; =awiliudôn=, _to
thank_; =þiudanôn=, _to be king_; =faginôn=, _to rejoice_; =fraujinôn=,
_to rule_; =reikinôn=, _to rule_; =frijôn=, _to luv_; =sunjôn=, _to
justify_; =hausjôn= (§ 187, n. 3).
_4. THIRD WEAK CONJUGATION_ (=-an=).
§ 191. Verbs of this class hav the formativ suffix =-ai=. This,
however, appears in all forms of the prt. (and in the pp.), while it
occurs in but few forms of the present and what belongs to the prs.,
the greater number following entirely the present forms of the strong
verb. The =ai= is found in the present only where the terminations of
the strong verb begin with =i= which it absorbs (thus, in the 2nd and
3d pers. sg. indic., in the 2nd pers. pl. indic., and in 2nd pers. pl.
imper.), and in 2nd pers. sg. imper. (which has no termination).--But
the =ai= is entirely wanting before the endings beginning with =a=
(=ô=).
§ 192. Paradim =haban=, _to hav_.
