Re: The Missing simple Voice Passive.

Hi there,

Amongst other things:

Vann að orðabók Cleasbys, stundaði íslensku og kenndi. Kennari við Lærða skólann í Reykjavík 18481895, yfirkennari frá 1874.

Worked with Cleasbys Dictionary, studied Icelandic and taught. Tutor at "The school of the learned" 1848-1895, conrector from 1874.

He is still instructing two simple Voices of Icelandic: Active Voice and Passive Voice.

Of course apt to international lingustic standards.

So the generation of my Great-Grandparents was I reckon the last Icelandic genaration

to have erudite instruction of existing simple Voices.

But on the other hand the generations of my Grandparents, parents and myself did not

receive any official confirmation of more than one exsting simple Voice, the Active Voice.

Thanks the new grammarians of last century.

For interest sake.

Here below are extract from Conrector's example of verb's conjugation [year 1859: RjettritunarReglur].

Thanks Uoden
