Historical inflection of tjug
Forms in italics are currently considered non-standard. Forms in [brackets] were official, but considered second-tier. Forms in (parentheses) were allowed under Midlandsnormalen. 1Nouns were capitalised for most of the 19th century. 2Aasen also lists the following forms: Kjau, Kju, and Kjug. These spellings are not listed with the 1903 official glossary. 3tjau was introduced as an official side form. |
