kosten (weak, third-person singular present kostet, past tense kostete, past participle gekostet, auxiliary haben)

1. to cost

• While elision of the ending -et is now dialectal or poetic in most other verbs, it remains common in colloquial speech with kosten. Thus one might hear /kɔst/ for kostet and, slightly less often, /ɡəkɔst/ for gekostet. These may be spelt kost't, kost, and gekost't, gekost.

• 3rd person singular indicative present active can also be: kost't, kost', kost

From Old High German kostōn, from Proto-Germanic *kustōną. More at costen.
