It has been yoten

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Idk why, but I jumped to "yitten" first

[-] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

Makes sense, sorta like eat / eaten

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 6 months ago

no no, "yoten" is old english plural, equivalent to modern "yeese".

it's the same grammar as "oxen".

You're talking nouns though, I was going for a participle; cf. thrown
