[Ads-l] arrove

[Paul A Johnston, Jr.]

Well, if we can take a French loan like "catch" and derive a past like "caught" out of it (on the model of reach and teach in OE), why not make arrive a Class I strong verb.  My family used to do the same with "to pig out"  --you pag out last night, and that's the third time you've puggen out this week.
