4.1.5. - V class

In Proto-Germanic (and also in Gothic), the fifth class of strong verbs was characterized by the vowel interchange i/ă + any consonant, except sonant. In Anglo-Saxon, the fifth class of ablaut/vowel gradation of strong verbs is represented by four main versions: (a) the version with vowel -e- in its pres tense stem; (b) the version with vowel -i- in its pres tns stem and the gemination of the following consonant; (c) the version with consonant change in accordance with Verner’s law; and (d) the version with the diphthongized vowel after palatal consonant.

In addition, (e) the fifth class of the Anglo-Saxon strong verbs includes the version, which is characterized by the vowel contraction resulting from the dropping of the consonant h (and also by some other anomalies).
