Paradigm

4.1.1.4.

The third (preterite plural) form of this (IV) class of Gothic (and other Germanic languages) features vowel [-ē-] instead of the epenthetic vowel in above classes. The origin of this vowel is the subject of multiple hypotheses. The same lengthened vowel [-ē-] also appears in the third form of the V class strong verbs.

IV class	infinitive	preterite singular	preterite plural	past participle
IV class	normal grade	normal grade	lengthened grade	zero grade
i/ă	-i-	-a-	-ē-	zero
additional element of vowel gradation for this class is any sonant, e.g. -m-, -r-, etc.	i + m = im	a + m = am	ē + m = ēm	^epenthetic u + m = um
to come; to arrive	qiman	qam	qēmum	qumans
	i + r = air [-ɛ-]	a + r = ar	ē + r = ēr	^epenthetic au [-o-] + r = aur [-or-]
to bear, carry; to bring; to give birth to	bairan [-ɛ-]	bar	bērum	baurans [-or-]
