Usage notes
edit- Inflected forms except timen (infinitive; 1. and 3. person plural indicative present active) and the past participle might be rare, at least in writing.
- In the forms with stem time- (er timet, er timete, er hatte getimet or getimed) the e often is silent (as in timet, timete, getimet) but sometimes it's not (as in timen).
- The forms with stem time- are proscribed.
