Usage notes
- Originally a class 3 strong verb, it diverged from the regular pattern first by shifting the /θ/ sound of its past participle root to a /d/ sound during the Old Skundavisk period, and then by replacing the regular past tense root warth by worde around the 17th century. It is now classified as an irregular verb.
- Most dialects use it as a passive auxiliary instead of the typically Kijlisk beun.
