Paradigm

4.6. Irregular verbs

The group of irregular verbs in Gothic is represented by a number of verbs, which reveal various peculiarities of their conjugational patterns:

4.6.1.

briggan (to bring).

According to the structure of the stem of its pres tense, this v belongs to the str verbs of class III. Its p tense is formed by means of stem vowel gradation and the addition of the dental suffix, represented by its variant form -ta: brāhta (< *braŋxta) (he brought), brāhtedun (they brought).

4.6.2.

gaggan (to go, walk).

According to the structure of the stem of its pres tense and the form of its p.p. (gaggans), gaggan belongs to the class of reduplicating verbs (the 3rd class weak verbs bauan, trauan are also believed to have previously been reduplicating ones [vid also 4.1.3 (c)]); in preterite, the weak form gaggida (he went) is once attested (Luk. 19:12), while usu an unrelated verbal stem: iddja (he went), iddjedun (they went) is applied. Therefore, by the type of the building of its tense forms, gaggan is a suppletive verb.

4.6.3.

wisan (to be, exist)

is a suppletive verb. The stem *es- produces only the personal forms of pres tns, while or other forms are produced based on the verbal stem *wes-, Goth wis-, in the manner similar to that of class V strong verbs: inf wisan, p sing was, p tense pl wesum.

In the pres tns, the verbal stem *es- is represented by the ful and zero grades of ablaut. The type of conjugation is athematic.

For this verb, the forms of optative are used instead of imperative mood.
