92 PREDICATIVE INFINITIVE WITH VERBS OF MOTION AND REST. 
et opertus ab ea pallio, dixit ad earn; — Gen. 842: sceton onsundran bidan selfes 
gesceapu heofoncyninges: see Chapter X, pp. 134 and 142. 
This predicative use of the infinitive after verbs of rest is common in the 
High Germanic languages, especially in New High German: see Chapter XVI, 
section v. 
Gradually the predicative infinitive after verbs of motion and of rest began 
to be supplanted by the predicate nominative of the present participle, com 
. . . yrnan becoming com . . . yrnende (as in MIJ. L. S. XXXI. 1039, 1043), 
— an evolution discussed in the chapter on “ Some Substitutes for the Anglo- 
Saxon Infinitive.”
