Icelandic Verbs (Predicates fragment) #
@cite{wood-2015}
Consensus lexical data for Icelandic verbs participating in the
-st / -na alternations made famous by @cite{wood-2015}. Each
entry carries only the surface forms and a Boolean for whether an
active variant exists — every other piece of information about each
verb (the -st classification, the anticausative-marking morpheme,
the @cite{cuervo-2003}-style root decomposition, the
possessive-dative diagnostic) is paper-specific apparatus and lives
in Phenomena.ArgumentStructure.Studies.Wood2015, where it can
participate in further analysis without polluting the Fragment
schema.
This is the same discipline applied to other Fragment lexicons in linglib: textbook-consensus lexical data on this side; competing analyses on the Studies side.
Note on classification: the morphological reflex -st (historically sik → -sk → -st) realizes Voice across at least six descriptive categories that @cite{wood-2015} identifies — anticausative, middle, reflexive, inherent, subject-experiencer, reciprocal — plus -na-marked anticausatives like brotna. The -st / -na contrast and the parameters that distinguish these categories are formalized in the Wood2015 study file, not here.
A lexical entry for an Icelandic verb participating in the -st / -na alternation. Carries only consensus surface data.
- activeForm : Option String
Active / bare form, if one exists.
nonefor inherent -st verbs (nálgast, minnast) and the subject-experiencer leiðast. - stForm : String
The intransitive form: typically suffixed with -st, with -na on
brotnaand friends, or identical to the active when the alternation is unmarked. - gloss : String
English gloss for human readers.
- hasActiveVariant : Bool
Whether an active variant exists (must agree with
activeForm.isSome; the redundancy is a sanity check used by the consistency theorem below).

All -st-marked verb entries (excludes -na-marked verbs like brotna). The Wood2015 study file projects analytical data (stType, marking, root structure) over the same ten verbs in the same order.

Sanity check: every verb whose hasActiveVariant is true also
has activeForm.isSome. Catches schema drift in either field.
