When you speculate whether the special features of the Swedish spoken at Jeff Lindquist's island are inherited from the Old Gutnish once spoken there, and you look this language or dialect up in both the Swedish and the English Wikipedia to check the verbal forms in the quotations - the articles are actually quite different so it is worth reading both versions.
It should however be said that strong verbs are a stable of all Germanic languages, and in this case I didn't reach any clear conclusion. Edited by Iversen on 18 December 2014 at 10:44pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |
