NOTE  1.  —  In  these  verbs  the  graphic  substitutions  for  ie,  ia  are
common  (1O,  Note  3).
NOTE  2.  —  The  variant  forms  of  the  class-vowel  o  of  the  pret.  are
a,  u ;  less  frequently  e,  except  in  the  pi.,  where  e  shares  the  preference
equally  with  o.
NOTE  3.  —  truwian,  to  trust  (originally  of  the  Third  Class),  and
ffeowian,  to  serve,  sometimes  syncopate  the  middle  vowel  in  the
preterit:  truwde,  fteowde;  with  loss  of  the  w,  ffeode  (ffeodde).
