Usage notes
This lemma is only attested with the radical consonant cluster ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ต for the more usual ๐ฒ๐ต (which appears i.a. in the corresponding strong verb ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฝ (sigqan)); these clusters are pronounced identically.
Declension
Only the dative singular is attested, which is not enough to determine the noun's stem or gender. It may have been a masculine a-stem or i-stem, but it was probably a neuter a-stem like its Old Norse cognate.
