• In some texts, the un-i-mutated spelling ætēowan seems to have been preferred for the intransitive sense of the verb, while i-mutated forms such as ætīewan, ætȳwan, and ætīwan are more commonly attested for the transitive sense. This may have arisen via analogy with verb pairs such as bærnan/biernan and ēacan/īeċan. However, not all authors made this distinction, and both senses are attested with and without i-mutation.
