¶ The weak pa. tense and pa. pple. beryhed, so frequent in the Northern Psalter, are ascribed by Mätzner to a distinct vb. beryhien, berȝien, which he compares with ON. byrgja (= Eng. bury), but this appears to be very doubtful: ON. bjarga has itself weak inflexions from an early period in Norway (Vigf.).
