== Galician == === Verb === findan third-person plural present indicative of findar == Old Dutch == === Etymology === From Proto-West Germanic *finþan. === Verb === findan to find ==== Inflection ==== ==== Derived terms ==== anafindan bifindan gifindan ==== Descendants ==== Middle Dutch: vindenDutch: vindenLimburgish: vinje ==== Further reading ==== “findan”, in Oudnederlands Woordenboek, 2012 == Old English == === Etymology === From Proto-West Germanic *finþan, from Proto-Germanic *finþaną, from Proto-Indo-European *pent- (“to go, pass; path, bridge”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈfin.dɑn/ === Verb === findan to find late 9th century, King Alfred's translation of Saint Augustine's Soliloquies late 10th century, Ælfric, "The Seven Sleepers" to meet ==== Usage notes ==== In both Early and Late West Saxon, the past tense of findan was often irregular (although regular forms occurred as well), with a stem fund- resembling that of a class 1 weak verb with syncope in the past tense, e.g. settan, wendan. The resulting forms were funde for the 1st and 3rd person singular and fundest for the 2nd person singular; the past plural form, fundon, was unchanged. This likely occurred by analogy with the past subjunctive forms. While evidence from Middle English suggests that the weak forms may have occurred in at least a small part of the Mercian dialect area as well, they are not observed in any "pure" Mercian Old English text (i.e one without mixed Mercian and non-Mercian dialect features). ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Synonyms ==== mētan ==== Derived terms ==== āfindan ġefindan onfindan ==== Descendants ==== Middle English: findenEnglish: findSranan Tongo: feni, findi (obsolete)Aukan: fénde, féniSaramaccan: féndi, féni→ Caribbean Javanese: féni→ Welsh: ffeindioScots: find, fynd == Old High German == === Etymology === From Proto-West Germanic *finþan, from Proto-Germanic *finþaną.
