gefeallan conjugation

edit

This conjugation shows the 2nd and 3rd person present are not the same as in feallan. I can't find fielst or fielþ for feallan at Bosworth. I could only find those conjugations here at Old English to Modern English Translator. Should gefeallan use the Bosworth conjugation or the OE to NE Translator?

In B&T is shows as felst, fylst, felþ, fylþ. We can simply normalise these into *fiell(e)st and *fiell(e)þ Leasnam (talk) 00:02, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I also see the infinitive "to ..." is not the same, and I don't know how to fix it without writing down the whole table word by word. Anglish4699 (talk) 00:04, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I see "tō ġefeallenne"...is that not what it should be ? Leasnam (talk) 00:06, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Oh I see what you mean. At the other translator site the to-infinitive is different. Yeah, those there do not look right, the to-infinitives should either be the stem + -enne or (Anglian) -anne Leasnam (talk) 00:15, 23 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
