ge-sceððan
- verb [ weakstrong ]
[with the same form in the infinitive are to be found, apparently, two verbs, one belonging to the strong, the other to the weak conjugation.
Corresponding to the Gothic verb skaþjan, skóþ is sceððan, scód; [cf. sceppan, scóp.] The infinitive 'sceaðan' also occurs. Corresponding to Icel. skeðja, skaddi is sceððan, sceðede. There is besides the weak verb
'sceaðian,' which corresponds to Icel. skaða, skaðaði, or O. H. Ger. scadón, scadota.
With regard to the form 'scód' instead of 'skóþ,' see Grm. And. u. El. 93]
