indicative declension. It marks conditionals the speakers estimates to
be unlikely.

Ef þú gefuskar mér ein fisk, ér etim þat
Ef þú gefuþar mér ein fisk, vér etim þat
If you somehow give me a fish, well eat it

The second strategy, which is the default strategy and holds a neutral
stance towards how likely the hypothetical situation is, uses the verb
/skal(a)/ as an auxilliary in the conditional mood.

Ef þú skaluþ gef mér ein fisk, vér etim þat

nominal phrase or verbal phrase with a verb in the infinitive mood
being the wished element. It denotes a wish rather than a want.

Ek vil far.
I wish I could go.

The second strategy is a morphological mood of the verb formed by
inserting -(i)nn(i)- between the verb root and its subjunctive
declension.

Ek ferinnir.
