GENERAL REMARKS ON THE VERBS OF CLASS I.

§ 822. The first class of weak verbs contains partly causative and partly denominative verbs as in the other Indg. languages, as Skr. bhāráyāmi (Gr. φορέω), / cause to bear; Skr. vartáyāmi (Goth, fra-warđja), / cause to turn; Goth, nasjan, to save, ráisjan, to raise, beside Skr. bhárāmi, Gr. φέρω, / bear; Skr. vártāmi, / turn, Goth, waírþa, I become; ga-nisan, to be saved; ur-reisan, to arise. Gr. δακρΰω, / weep, δκομαίι*ω, / name; Goth, dáiljan, to deal out; háiljan, to heal; namnjan, to name; beside Gr. δάκρυ, tear; Ονομα, name; Goth, dáils, portion ; hails, whole; namō, name.

Irrespectively of the nature of the stems of the nouns and adjectives from which denominative verbs were formed, the two kinds of verbs had come to have the same inflexional endings already in prim. Germanic. In the parent language the endings of the pres. sing, and pi. of the causative verbs were : Sing, -ejō, -ájesi, -ejeti; -ejomes, (-mos), -ejete, -ejonti. Thus—
