   • late 10th century, Ælfric, the Old English Hexateuch, Genesis 45:3

     And hē cwæþ tō his ġebrōðrum, "Iċ eom Iosep! Leofaþ ūre fæder nū ġīet?" Þā ne meahton his ġebrōðru him for eġe ġeandwyrdan.

Conjugation

The class III weak verbs were all subject to some degree of remodeling in Old English. In libban this can be seen in the sg. imp. and the 2nd. & 3rd. sg. prs. ind., which resemble class II weak forms. In the Anglian dialects, forms with libb- are instead found as lifġ-. Unlike habban & secgan, class II variants can also be found for the entire remainder of the paradigm in all dialects.
