[split] Discussion of f116v interpretations by Anton Alipov
#18
The -en thing can still be sern in some petrified accusatives in modern Dutch. For example, 'achter' means behind, and 'naar achteren' means towards the back. This is just a remnant from when the Germanic languages still used more cases.

Also like Dolo says, the infinitive form is and was often the same as an imperative form. 

So gramatically I don't see a problem. Valden also seems like a form that could once have existed in Germanic dialects. Modern Dutch fold is 'vouwen', and 'al' often changed into 'ou'.

I wouldn't focus too much on one Germanic 'language' by the way. So many spelling variations and dialects existed!
