Inflection
editThis verb and its derivatives, irregularly for B II verbs, have various non-palatalized present forms, such as a third-person plural segait, conjunct ·segat, in addition to a passive singular ·segar with unpalatalized g. These may have arisen by analogy with verbs like saidid and laigid and nouns like aig where e followed by a palatalized consonant regularly changed to a.[2]
