This is a little tool for beginners to help them find the infinitive of OE verbs in a dictionary or glossary from inflected forms. The diagram is a very basic thing and therefore does not account for the many exceptions in the inflexion of OE verbs (contracted verbs, preterite-present ones, weak ones with changing radicals etc.) but is a friendly and -I hope- funny way of approaching OE verb inflexion. NOTE: the geometrical figures do not necessarily have the same function they do in a real computing flow chart. They are just attrezzo.
