in old writers strong, fat, fátu; in usage weak, fetaði, and so in paper , iii. 492; fötuðu, i. 291, is undoubtedly an error for fátu:
I. to step, with the notion to find one’s way, of one walking in a fog or darkness,
α. with ; feta braut, 208 (in a verse); feta leið (), ii. 44; feta veg sinn, ; menn fátu trautt leið sína í sumum stöðum, 1300, i. 804.β. , feta burt ór völundar húsi, to find the way out of a labyrinth, 91; en svá fjarri ferr at ek feta () þangat, ii. 284; blindr ok fat eigi til dyranna, 192; var ok svá at hann fat af því heim, 46 new ; fátu þeir eigi heim, i. 97; ætlaði at hann mundi feta til síðarr, 146; ok fátu hvergi, and could not find the way, iii. 401.
II. as an auxiliary verb with an ; hve ek yrkja fat, how I did make my poem, 19; hve ek þylja fat, how I did speak, 3; faztú at árna, thou didst earn, Sighvat; ek fet smíða, I do (can) work, vi. 170; hann fat gerða, he did gird, 48; ek fat kjósa, I did choose, 229 (App.); ek fet inna, I do record, Rekst. 29, ; this use, however, although in the poets of the 10th century, became obsolete, and is never met with in prose.
