[1] gangat ‘I do not go’: The form contains the negative suffix ‑at, but, unusually, lacks an explicit (e)k ‘I’ (as observed by Foote 1969a, 361). Kock (NN §3064) drew attention to the non-standard form of the verb ganga here, believing it to be a weak form. Foote, however, is sceptical about this. He considers the possibility of a rare optative (subj.) form (ibid., 361-2, citing NS §182(a)), but ultimately inclines to see gangat as a Faroese form *gang- (ibid., 362-3).
