Bos. 8, 21] Usage notes The inflected infinitive is preceded by the preposition ang tō. On contracted verbs, this ending reduced to just -ne: ang fōnne, ang hōnne, ang tēonne. The form ang -anne was very common; this is traditionally taken as influence from the uninflected infinitive ang -an, but Versloot suggests that since ang -anne was attested earlier, it must have been original and i-umlaut therefore did not apply in the context of gmw-pro *-annjē. It is also possible that -enne'' reflects a reduction of ang -anne, but ang -anne, ang -annae is in turn a levelling of a prehistoric ang *-ennǣ. This suffix was used with Class I weak verbs and strong verbs; Class II weak verbs used the related ang -ienne and ang -ianne.
