slaa to strike (slog, slaaet or slagen); staa to stand staaet); sværge to swear (svor, svoren); le to laugh (lo, leet);
Note: befalede is now exclusively used in common speech; so is galede; jagede is more common than its corresponding strong form, jage is always weak when it indicates to go hunting. Han blev slagen he was conquered: han blev slaaet he was struck.
- ↑ Not to be confounded with bryde to trouble, in Danish regularly conjugated: impf. bröd–ptc. brydt (or brudt), N. brydde (or bröd), ptc. brydd. That these two words are originally different is seen grom the fact that bryde to trouble in Norway is pronounced bry, while bryde to break is pronounced bryte.
- ↑ Always betydede when signifying: gave to understand.
