i. First Weak Conjugation.
§ 316. The verbs of this conjugation are sub-divided into two classes:—(i) verbs with a short stem-syllable, as nasjan, to save; or with a long open syllable, as stōjan, to judge; (2) verbs with a long closed syllable, as sōkjan, to seek; and polysyllabic verbs, as glitmunjan, to shine.
The two classes only differ in the 2 and 3 pers. sing, and the 2 pers. pi. of the pres. indie, and in the a pers. pi. imperative. Class (i) has -jl-, but class (2) -ei·. See §§ 153-4.
§ 317. The full conjugation of nasjan, stōjan, sōkjan will serve as models.
