Etymology

Created from its verb stem -di-, as in nadin

Verb

*edin ? (imperfect participle editen, future participle edingo or edinen, short form edin, verbal noun edite)

1. Hypothetical citation form of the intransitive aorist auxiliary

Usage notes

(N.B. The name *edin is only used for the sake of identifying this auxiliary. In normal use, only the finite forms are used.)

*Edin is the aorist equivalent of the verb izan. While both verbs have full conjugations, the most common use of *edin is to replace the potential forms of izan, which are seen as archaic/literary:

• *Etor zarateke (izan). → Etor zaitezke (*edin). = You can come.

It is also used in the subjunctive constructions with the short stem, although this structure is also more common in literature than in colloquial speech:

• Nahiago dut etor zaitezen. = I prefer that you come.

Conjugation

• *Edin does not have any non-finite forms.
