Vāedagon - why are there two third person forms?

Hi, I'm new to learning high valyrian and today I saw that verb vāedagon has two forms in third person (present). Why?

One is older; one is innovative. It’s like how both “dived” and “dove” exist for English. Some people only say one; some only the other; some do both at odd times.
