Chapter XIV.—The Inflection of the Speculum, clxxxi
Making allowance for possible hiatus, e.g. Herkne, and 328 ; Herknel
348, 378; Loke 758, 768. Often divergence from the strong verb is
not marked, and the two classes fall together in forms without -e.
Singular, "weak: lef 392, 866; Put 476; 493; Cast 647;
sped 865; Bring 970. Strong: tat (possibly through contraction)
143, 777 ; Nym 553; Forflf 541, 555; tak 770; Go (anv.) 855;
Do 969 ; flf 1012. Romance imperatives end in -e: Vse 82.
Plural. Plural endings seem to be -ep: Herknep 1, 790; Sittep
790; Comep 423; Listnep 753; Wasshep 816, 824, 848. Remnant
of an older form is illustrated in gop 445 ; see Schleich, p. 6.
Riming forms contribute no important testimony for the Speculum.
Participle. The present participle is wanting in MS. A1 of the
Speculum, but A2.D.H1.R read suffrand (Northern form) 587, and
A2.D.R offer suffrande 597 (H2 sufferynge, Ax suffraunt), the Anglo-
Norman participle in adjective construction.
Verbal substantives in -ing (or -inge). Verbals are of frequent
occurrence in rime and text: biginning : (p0?</) 7, 884; biginning :
ending 210; deiing : ending 278; shining 382; speking 330; wonip
ing : deseruing 314, : (ping) 317 ; pining : brenning 182,: (king) 899.
In -ingel: mourninge (mourningI 123) : (springe, inf.) 125.
§ 2. Forms that may be referred to the first and second preterit
stems.
Preterit. Strong verbs. Ablaut variations of the O.E. are pre-
served in the Speculum: tok : forsok 34; drouh : (inouh) 44; bar :
(war) 46 ; bicam : nam 246 ; lay : (day) 249 ; steih 253 ; sauh 347,
350, 355, 374; iseih : (heih) 369, 991 ; vnderstod : (god) 462, 939;
bad 571 ; cam : (man) 589 ; gan (in pleonastic construction) 641,
642 ; slowen 438.
Preterit. Weak verbs. The second person ends in -est: noldest
659, and the preteritive-present coupest 657. Syncopation occurs in
haddestu 579 ; woldestu 873 ; maitou 343. See also mail 881, miht
1005. Otherwise weak verbs end in -ed, -de, -te. Singular verbs.
(a) In -ed: Huede 38; birede 133; ansiverde 971; Grauntede 988.
(b) The weak ending recurring more frequently is -de, illustrated as
follows : louede 35 ; answerede : heriede (i. e. through analogy with
the present, ten Br., § 162) 66 ; hade : made 244; deiede 248, 528;
shewede 361; dede : (stede) 598; answerede 981; seide (i. e. sede)
965 ; Huede 1004. Variation of the radical vowel occurs in ladde
42. Plural verbs: wolden 268; wolde 530; seruede (2 pers. pl.)
452; dede : (stede) 603. With apocope : hadde 454.
