according to pattern 3 pers. druwç (* 212); (II) drowy (2x) (with -
y = *-Ÿ- < *-î) beside (I) drowe (2x) (with -e = *-ç) came into being due
to accomodation to inf. druwît with î- < *ç 104 , see PEÞ I 234, cf. Endzelîns
SV 108, 111. Prussian verb ‘to believe’ was derived from a substantive

Vergl. Gr. 320, PEÞ III 138 f. (with bibl.);
3 pers. segge ‘does’ (: if. seggît), with its -e = *-ç < *-çja, was a
basic form for innovations 2 pers. sg. seggçsei, 1 pers. pl. seggçmai, 2
pers. pl. seggçti (* 212), cf. PEÞ 91 f. with bibl.);
