Pop quiz, hot shot: name the common modern Japanese verb X which had an older root/related form Y such that:. X : Y : deru (出る) : idu (出づ). Were shimo-2-dan verbs, meaning they conjugated like this:. Ide, ide, idu, iduru, idure, ideyo. Ine, ine, inu, inuru, inure, ineyo. And, today, both. Verbs that conjugate like. well, like in the table I just linked to. The difference is that the dictionaries are quite happy calling. But the relationship between. Isn't quite so clear cut. It seems that the. 寝を寝 looks ...
