Iku is derived from yuku, which has the same irregularity, namely, yutta, so a presumed ban on _iita_ doesn't hold up there. > Are there any "regular" verbs ending in -iku, > past -iita? (I cant find any offhand...) I can't find any either, but I also can't find any verbs ending in -iku past tense -itta except for iku itself and compounds with iku. A rule that applies to only one verb is indistinguishable from an irregularity. -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'.
