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 |
| 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-] |
