[2] þætta (1st pers. sg. pret. subj.) ‘I thought’: So Kölbing (1876) and Jón Þorkelsson (1888). The Rask87ˣ variant þætti, if taken as 3rd pers. sg. pret. subj. (but see Note to st. 22/4 above), can be construed impersonally as þó þætti mier ilt ‘though it seemed bad to me’ and is adopted in CPB and by Jón Þorkelsson (1922-7) and Páll Eggert Ólason (1947).
