`MI word history: The word shrive is unique among English verbs be-
`cause it is the only verb of non-Germanic origin that has a strong
`conjugation instead of the expected weak one. A strong conjuga-
`tion in Germanic is one in which the vowel undergoes changes and
`there is no suffix to mark the past tense. The verb sing belongs to
`the strong category, for its principal parts are sing, sang, and sung.
`When Latin scribere was borrowed into the original Germanic lan-
`guage, it was conjugated like the ancestor of English ride, and its
`principal parts are correspondingly shrive, shrove, and shriven. Not
`until the 14th century did the past tense form shrived appear, and
`the past participle form shrived did not occur until the 16th cen-
`tury. The noun shrift is derived from shrive and is not borrowed di-
`rectly from a Latin word.
