From Proto-Germanic *fleuganą.

Cognate with Old English flēoġan (Modern English fly), Old Frisian fliāga (Saterland Frisian fljooge), Old Saxon fliogan (Low German flegen), Old Dutch fliogan (Dutch vliegen), Old High German fliogan (German fliegen). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *plewk-. Indo-European cognates include Lithuanian plaũkti.

Verb

edit

fljúga (singular past indicative flaug, plural past indicative flugu, past participle floginn)

  1. to fly

Conjugation

edit

Having a final -g, the past indicative singular form may be fló instead of the otherwise regular flaug. In the second person, the final -t is geminated so that fló + -t = flótt.
