  Peter,

  Here are the Old English forms of 'to go':

  Infinitive: gan
  Present indicative: ic ga, þu g?st, he/heo/hit g?ð, we/ge/hie gað
  Past indicative: ic eode, þu eodest, he/heo/hit eode, we/ge/hie eodon
  Past participle: gegan

  I don't know what happened between _eod-_ and "went."

  I postulate that, had _eod-_ survived, it would now be something like
  *_eed_; cf. creopan (to creep), fleon (to flee), deop (deep).

  This *_eed_ is interesting -- and here comes "far-fetched" -- in that it
  reminds me of Slavonic for 'to go' (*_id-_); e.g., Russian _????_
(_idti_),
  Ukrainian _???_ (_iti_), Polish _isc_, Czech _jet_, Serbo-Croatian _ici_.
  Note also Latin _iter-_ 'journey', 'road', _iterare_ 'to repeat' (< *_it-_
  'to proceed'?).

  For good measure, here are the Modern North Saxon forms of 'to go'
  (Neo-Hanseatic spelling):

  Infinitive: gaan
  Present indicative: ik ga, du gayst, hey/sey/it~dat gayt, wy/jy/sey gaat
  Past indicative: ik güng, du güngst, hey/sey/it~dat güng, wy/jy/sey güngen
  Past participle: (gegaan >) gaan

  Regards,
  Reinhard/Ron


Here are the Flemish versions:
Present indicative: 'k gao, je/gy gaot, hy /zy/et/da gaot, wyder/we gaon,
gyder gaot(!)/ zyder gaon
Past indicative: 'k ginge/gonge, je/gy ging/gong/gonk, hy ging/gong/gonk,
wyder/we ging'/gong', gyder ging/gong/gonk, zyder/ze ging'/gong'
past participle: gegaon/egaon ("oa" or "ao", because of the delicate balans
between a more a- or o- sound)

Correction/addition:

Present indicative:  ik ga, du gayst, hey/sey/it~dat gayt, wy/jy/sey gaat ~
gaan

(Some dialects have _-(e)n_ where others have _-t_ for the plural.)
