My point is, the -o ending tacks onto the past stem, not the supine
(drogo, varo), so I would expect "fanno" unless the past tense for
"finna" was different circa a century ago.

No. "iaktta" means "observe" or "notice". I'm just asking how to
pronounce the bugger.

Again, from context, this is sort of what I guessed, but I'd like a
more detailed explanation of  "ögonen låg för långt in".
