§ [209]. Sum verbs whose present follows the first weak conjug. (in part perhaps belonging to [§ 206], a), form the prt. weak, but without the formativ suffix i: bugjan, to buy, baúhta; brûkjan, to uze, brûhta; waúrkjan, to work, waúrhta; þagkjan, to think, þâhta ([§ 5], b); þugkjan, to seem, þûhta ([§ 15], b). The extant pps. ar:—baúhts < bugjan, waúrhts < waúrkjan, the remaining ones would be brûhts, þâhts, þûhts ([§ 75]); þâhts occurs in anda-þâhts, cautious, vigilant; þûhts in háuh-þûhts, mikil-þûhts, haughty.

Note. Cp. also kaupatjan ([§ 187], n. 1), which has, however, the formativ i in the pp.
