Gothic
Etymology
From *ππ
ππ²π°π½ (*swΕgan, from Proto-Germanic *swΕganΔ
) + -π°ππΎπ°π½ (-atjan).
Verb
ππ
ππ²π°ππΎπ°π½ β’ (swΕgatjan)
- to sigh
- to groan
Conjugation
The past participle would be expected to follow the form of the other past tense forms, yielding *ππ
ππ²π°πππ (*swΕgasts), but the single attestation of a past participle in the Gothic verbs suffixed with -atjan, πΊπ°πΏππ°ππΉπ³π°πΉ (kaupatidai), contradicts this. It is not certain whether this form is due to scribal error, later morphological levelling or due to some other irregularity in the verbs suffixed with -atjan.
