==Askājaskā naunā==
===sājanaunā===
The adjectives of Skájamál are quite peculiar from a sibling perspective - there is no “strong” or “weak” inflection - instead, adjectives are declined for definiteness by a complex process whose origins lie in the ancient addition of a prefix, ''*ja(i)-'', which is usually reflected as ''a-'' before most consonants and disappears before most vowels. However, sound changes and analogical processes make the resultant system quite tricky to navigate.
#preserved pre-consonantal a-
:'''hwēkwaḥ''' vs. '''ahwēkwaḥ''' (weak)
#iotation and loss
:'''ulsīnaḥ''' vs. '''iulsīnaḥ''' (golden);this results from an original *g being preserved as -j- intervocalically and lost initially.
#preserved lenition
:'''bitraḥ''' vs. '''avitraḥ''' (bitter)
#lenition and loss
:'''batistaḥ'''  vs. '''vatistaḥ''' (best)

#Innovatio I
:The past tense indicative {{sc|1pl}} marker has replaced the equivalent present indicative marker. So, basically a bunch of verbs look a bit like preterite-presents here.
::e.g. '''aujum''' 'we have' ( from an innovated < *'''habjum''', instead of the expected reflex of PGmc. *'''habjamaz''' which would be **aujamah)
#Innovatio II
:Loss of final -i in the ind. pres. ("weak")
:: '''avajs''' 'you have, he has' ( < *'''''habaiþ''''' <  PGmc. *'''habaiþi''' AND < *'''''habais''''' < PGmc. *'''habaisi''')

#Innovatio III
: The subclasses of w-Class III merge with the stative -ja- spreading into the factitive in the present, while the factitive -a- forms spread to the past. The past participle is formed with *''-adaz'', present with *''-(i)jandz''
#Innovatio IV
: The spread of -janā to the infinitive from the I and III class to the rest.
::'''wrissājanā''', '''salbājanā'''
====Class I====
=====s-class I=====
A lot of things happen here:
As for *brūkaną, it's moved into class 2b of the strong verbs but keeps weak participle: briūk-, brauk-, brukadaz -> briūk-, brauk, brukara
then, *būanā joins the third weak class as būjanā (būās, būrāze, būra)
====s-class II====
todo
====s-class III====
to a large extent, merged with Class III, with verbs showing alternation between -a- and -i- in the past.

Pronomina often occur in second position (wackernagel), thus sometimes glued onto verb. E.g.
wansā ik → wansājk
wansās sū → wansāru
wansās sa → wansāra
