Usage notes

Wüllen is also often used for the future tense, along with schölen.

This verb can also appear as schüllen or schöllen in different dialects, the former being more often encountered than the second one.

Singular forms of schölen are identical stems with a change of vowel (öö becoming a), plural forms of könen are conjugated in the way regular Low German verbs are conjugated, and the past tense is conjugated in an irregular manner with the same vowel through the line.

In its conjugation this verb shows similarities with mögen and könen, and is more distantly related to the German and Dutch variants of this verb: sollen and zullen.
