- 1830, Filaret, “On the Tenses of Greek Verbs” in The Gentleman’s Magazine, and Historical Chronicle, ed. Sylvanus Urban, volume 100, part 2, page 125
- In English our common and regular past tense is formed in ed, as I received: this answers to the aorist in α. But many of our older verbs form their preterite on quite a different plan; such are, I saw, I wrote &c. changing the radical vowels: this irregular form is analogous to the aorist in ον. Lastly, we have not a few verbs in which both forms are in use, as I hanged, and I hung; I catched, and I caught; I beseeched, and I besought; I chid, and I chided: and this is parallel to the examples of Greek verbs with both forms of the aorist. […A] single English grammarian, who, on the ground of the varieties and redundancies above-mentioned, has exhibited the standard model of the English verb with two preterite tenses. Or what should we now think of the grammar which should run thus: 1. pret. I fighted, thou fightedst, &c. 2d pret. I fought, &c. And again, 1st pret. I reminded, &c. 2d pret. I remound?

He’ll squeak as ne’er before he’s squoken!
