sg., occurs; as y wawt a ganeint Ỻ.A. 95 ‘the song which they sang’, a ẟeueint … a syrthẏeint do. 97 ‘which came, [tears] which fell’, achubeint w.m. 466 ‘they seized’. It is sometimes found in Early Mn. verse: anrhegaint D.G. 24 ‘they presented’, oedaint, fyddaint, rhedaint do. 25; occasionally later: rhedeint b.cw. 23.
175. Aor. and Plup. Ind.—i. The 3rd sg. aor. has a number of endings:
(1) Ml. W. ‑awẟ, Mn. W. ‑odd, is common in Ml. W., and almost supplanted all other endings in the Late Mn. period. Ml. W. examples: kerẟauẟ w.m. 9 ‘walked’ (beside a gerẟwys do. 8), cymhellauẟ do. 17 ‘incited’, wharyawẟ do. 163 ‘played’, parawẟ ib. ‘caused’ see (4), gofynnawẟ do. 164 ‘asked’, diskynnawẟ do. 422 ‘descended’, r͑wymawẟ ib. ‘bound’, frwynglymawẟ ib. ‘fastened by the reins’, dechreuawẟ r.b.b. 117 ‘began’, dewissawẟ do. 319 ‘chose’. ‑oẟ already appears in Late Ml. W.: parhaoẟ, arveroẟ, llaẟoẟ c.m. 92 ‘lasted, used, killed’, brathoẟ do. 93 ‘stabbed’.
(2) ‑as, in cavas b.b. 66, w.m. 10 ‘got’, gwelas b.b. 101, w.m. 13 ‘saw’. It survived as the regular ending in these two verbs in Ml. W.; in Early Ml. W. other verbs take it, bradas, twyllas b.b. 81 ‘betrayed, deceived’, erects G. m.a. i 196 ‘created’, gallas B.V. do. 372 ‘could’. In cafas it survived in Early Mn. W.:
- Pwy mewn gaeaf a gafas
- Fis Mai yn dwyn lifrai las?—D.G. 265; cf. 116.
‘Who in winter [ever] found a May-month wearing green livery?’
(3) ‑es is added to stems having ‑o- or ‑oe‑; as dicones juv. sk. ‘wrought’, r͑otes (t ≡ ẟ) b.b. 42, r͑oẟes w.m. 9 ‘gave’, torres w.m. 94 ‘broke’, arhoës do. 47 ‘waited’, ffoës r.m. 152 ‘fled’, ymhoeles r.b.b. 199 ‘returned’. It is common in Mn. W., more especially in the earlier period: ffoës D.G. 61, si̯omes G.G1. c. i 196 ‘deceived’, colles I.T. f. 43 ‘lost’, codes do. 45 ‘rose’, rhoddes Phil, ii 9 ‘gave’, torres Gr.O. 41 ‘broke’. It survives in the spoken lang. in contracted forms rhoes, troes.—Contrary to analogy it replaced ‑as in gwelas in Late Ml. and Early Mn. W., as gweles r.b.b. 130, D.G. 279, T.A. g. 235.
(4) ‑is is added to stems having ‑a- (which it affects to ‑e‑), or ‑aw- ( > ‑ew‑): treg̃his b.b. 21 ‘perished’, cedwis do. 43 ‘kept’, erchis Ỻ.A. 2 ‘bade’, dienghis w.m. 56 ‘escaped’, peris do. 57 ‘caused’, ettellis (l‑l, vb. atali̯af) r.b.b. 174 ‘withheld’, cynhellis (l‑l, vb. cynhali̯af) do. 257 ‘held’, edewis r.m. 169 ‘left’, eẟewis r.b.b. 171 ‘promised’. Also dechreuis w.m. 27, r.m. 17 ‘began’ (beside dechreuwys w.m. 413, r.m. 267). It is occasionally met with in Early Mn. W., as gadewis D.G. 61.
- Ni wn a fûm yn iawn fis
- Heb hiraeth,—hi a’i peris.—I.D. 20.
‘I do not know that I have been well for a month without longing, [it is] she that caused it.’
(5) ‑w͡ys is perhaps the commonest ending in Ml. W.: pechuis b.b. 41
