Bork-bork-bork.

Well. It really doesn't make the subject _that_ explicit
since the third person singular is always the same as either
the first or the second person singular. The 'problem' might
be that in late Proto-Norse the 'þ' verbal ending collided with
the 'R'. Thus

*briuti > brýt (I break)
briutiR > brýtr (you break)
briutiþ -> brýtr (he breakes)

The thorn-ending is familiar from English; 'breaketh'.

When I say metre I mean the whole enchilada; scansion,
alliteration and (in)rhyme. Sometimes the word seems to
be used to mean only the scansion.
