**** Usage notes
- The verb is generally strong. The prescribed preterite is [de] , but [de] (which avoids the homonymy with [de] ) is widely attestable in edited sources.
- The weak forms [de] are heard alternatively in the informal senses “be crazy, act strangely”. (The preterite [de] is rarely met with also in other senses.)
