Contents

The table groups all the verbs in G. Müller's sermons in the following way:

1. word-forms are grouped into groups of analogy, i.e. groups that are based on the same basic form
2. words are classified into inflectional classes

One row contains one word (and its forms). The columns contain:

1. word in its contemporary form
2. contemporary exemplary word for its inflectional class
3. exemplary word from 1600 for its inflectional class in 1600

4. 2nd person singular present imperative; present indicative negative (Ø)
5. 3rd person plural present indicative (VAD)
6. infinitive (DA)
7. supine (MA)
8. 3rd person singular past indicative (S)
9. past participle impersonal (TUD)
10. present indicative impersonal (TAKSE)
11. past participle; past indicative negative; past imperative (NUD)
12. 2nd person plural present imperative (GE)

A cell for an analogy group contains:

• contemporary word-form representing the group
• word-forms used by G. Müller; each preceded by its grammatical tags and followed by its frequency count in the corpus

The grammatical tags also include their representational formative in the contemporary language, e.g. "ImpPl1 (-KEM)". For example for andma, its GE-analogy group cell is:
and+ke: "ImpPl1 (-KEM)">andkem 1 "ImpSg3 (-KU)">andkut 4 "ImpSg3 (-KU)">antkut 4
It represents three orthographically different forms of imperative from the 17th century which occur 1+4+4=9 times.

The source material, i.e. the word-forms, their lemmas and the grammatical tags are from the corpus of Old Written Estonian

The initial corpus orthography was transcribed by the following rules:

• ñ --> nn
• ß --> ss
• x --> ks
• z --> s
• th --> t
• ÿ --> i
• dt --> t
• gk --> k
• ck --> k
• ch --> h
• m~ --> mm
• æ --> ä
• v¨ --> ü
