+These are the most irregular verbs. There are more irregular verbs, but as they rely on more or less regular vowel changes while otherwise being conjugated normally, they are often not considered really irregular. These vowel changes can be summarised like this:
+{| class="bluetable lightbluebg"
+! Present
+! Past
+! Perfect
+|-
+| a
+| i
+| o
+|-
+| e
+| a
+| short i
+|-
+| i
+| a
+| o
+|-
+| o
+| i
+| i
+|-
+| y
+| i
+| short i
+|}
+The byform of these verbs always has a y, and if the stem ends in a fricative, it is voiced.
+As an example, this is the full conjugation of the strong verb ''sgryf'' "to write":
+{| class="bluetable lightbluebg"
+! Present
+| sgryf
+|-
+! Past
+| sgrifti
+|-
+! Perfect
+| gisgrifft
+|-
+! ''Byform''
+| sgryvē
+|-
+! Present participle
+| sgryfnē
+|-
+! Past participle
+| gisgrifftnē
+|}
