    Verbs ending in a vowel followed by "t" shorten the vowel sound in the past tense, supine, and past participle forms, like "byta" becoming "byte". Some verbs ending in a consonant and "t" assimilate the "t", like "fästa" becoming "fäste". A few second conjugation verbs are otherwise irregular, having some irregular forms among their usual regular present and past tense endings.

    Verbs with stems ending in a vowel +t, whilst inflecting according to this

    (b) paradigm, shorten the stem vowel in the past tense, supine and past
    participle forms (cf. also stems ending in consonant +t in (c) below):

    Examples:
    byta, exchange; mäta, measure; sköta, look after; stöta, prod
    (c) Special cases with deviant forms are stems in consonant +t:

    The -t is assimilated in the past tense, supine and past participle:


    fästa, fix; gifta, get married; lyfta, lift; smälta, melt. Also: vetta, face
    onto. See also 5.1.16.2.

    5.1.4 Irregular verbs of the second conjugation

    Some verbs conform broadly to the inflexion of the second conjugation (with
    largely regular present tense and past tense forms) but possess one or more
    irregular forms. A hyphen before a past participle form in the table below
    indicates that it usually only occurs as a compound.
