I (will) write this here because I saw it first within uses of this template, but it concerns and affects or will affect all inflection tables for Middle High German verbs with exception of the weak one (which already has the forms I will speak about ending with -e instead of -et). As far as I know, there has never been an ending (like this -t here) in the present subjunctive's third-person singular forms in any of the Germanic languages, which are in West Germanic always identical with the first-person form of the present subjunctive. (see also: Reconstruction:Proto-West Germanic/finþan) In this way did the forms inflect in Old High German, and they do in Modern Standard High German, as well as in English and even the modern North Germanic languages. In Old Norse and probably Proto-Germanic, the forms used to differ, but only in their ending vocals, not the consonants. With Concern to Middle High German, the following links (shall) be mentioned: w:Middle High German Verbs, w:de:Mittelhochdeutsche Sprache#Verben, https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/97298421/kurzgrammatik-ha_09-2009.pdf, https://www.uni-due.de/imperia/md/content/mediae/verben.pdf --Universal-Interessierter (talk) 21:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
