Usage notes

  • Gean is often omitted in colloquial speech. It is considered a default verb, so if a sentence has no verb, gean could most probably be inserted for purposes of English translation. It should be noted also that in earlier English, this could also be done; i.e. "We must away" for "We must go away" or "We must leave"
    • Hy wei ― He went away / he has gone away (literally, “he away”)

Conjugation

  • (variant past tenses of gean):
    • 1st and 3rd person singular: gong, gyng
    • 2nd person singular: gongst, gyngst
    • plural: gongen, gyngen
    • past participle: gongen.
