§ 194 sg. impv. *‑dhi might be added (: Gk 🇬🇷); thus *do-reg-di > *do-red-di > dyred. It is true that ‑dhi was added to R-grade of root; but there are exceptions, as in the case of ‑tōd (Lat. estō for *s-tōd).

dyre also occurs as 3rd sg. pres. ind., 1036, l. 28.

i. (1) dywedaf ‘I say’ has 3rd sg. pres. ind. Ml. W. dyweit Ỻ.A. 21, Early Mn. W. dywaid. In Late Mn. W. this form is replaced by dywed, which is not so much a re-formate from the other persons as a dial. pron. of dywaid, § 6 iii. (In Gwyn. the dial, form is dyfyd re-formed with the regular affection as in gweryd: gwaredaf.)

The aor. is dywedeis 10, dywedeist do. 63, dywedassam, etc., which is regular, except that for the 3rd sg. the perf. is used: Ml. W. dywawt 5, 6, dywat do. 23, dywot 6, 7; Early Mn. W. dywawd R.G.E. . 141, dywad, dywod, dyfod. For these in Late Mn. W. a new formation dywedodd is used; but in Gwyn. dial. dỿwad, dw̄́ad may still be heard (Rhys, RC. vi 17).
 * Ni ddyfod ond yn ddifalch;
 * Ni bu na gorwag na balch.—D.N., 136/123.

‘He spoke only modestly: he was neither vain nor proud.’

The impers. is the perf. dywespwyt 90,  10, dywetpwyt  17, Mn. W. dywetpwyd Matt, i 22 (1620). But the aor. dywedwyd is more usual in Mn. W., and also occurs in Ml. W.: dywedwyt Ỻ.A. 115.

The v.n. is Early Ml. W. dywedwyd > Ml. W. dywedut § 78 iv (2), written in Mn. W. dywedyd.
