Some indistinct grammar information

[llama_nom]

Hi Fredrik,

Another curiosity: the Class 7 verb 'saian' "to sow" forms the 
indicative past 1st/3rd sg. regularly, 'saíso', but the indicative 
past 2nd sg. is 'saísost'.  Unfortunately more examples haven't 
survived, but judging by this it could be that other roots ending in a 
vowel had the ending -st (instead of the expected *-t) by analogy with 
roots ending in dental consonants (biudan : baust, háitan : haíháist, 
qiþan : qast, etc.).
