SUMMARY
The Old Icelandic weak verb flykkja ‘to seem, think’ surfaces as flykja with non-
geminate k in Modern Icelandic. In the the standard handbooks, this development is
described as a sound change, but this paper offers a different approach, analyzing it as
analogical change.
Section 2, along with Table 1, describes a survey of selected texts dating from the
twelfth century down to the eighteenth century. The evidence of the orthography indi-
cates that the development from kk to k in flykkja had begun already around 1200,
progressing very slowly down to the sixteenth century when forms with k become
more common than forms with kk, and in the seventeenth century flykkja with kk all
but disappears, leaving flykja as the standard form of the verb. It also emerges that
many of the manuscripts showing the early development of flykkja to flykja have been
