The imperfect indicative is regular, and has slightly different forms for all conjugations. Note that the 3rd ''-ymur'' were once distinct from the 3rd ''-øymur'' ones, but the original forms (which often caused umlaut) have been regularized and replaced by the ''-øymur'' forms. The stem is always the unstressed one. | The imperfect indicative is regular, and has slightly different forms for all conjugations.
