| graben, to dig | gruop | gruoben | gegraben |
| tragen, to carry | truoc | truogen | getragen |
| maln, to grind | muol | muolen | gemaln |
| varn, to go | vuor | vuoren | gevarn |
And similarly laden, to load, nagen, to gnaw, schaffen, to create, spanen, to entice, waschen, to wash, wahsen, to grow, waten, to wade.
| slahen, to strike | sluoc | sluogen | geslagen |
| twahen, to wash | twuoc | twuogen | getwagen |
See [§ 30]. The pret. sing. sluoc, twuoc for *sluoch, *twuoch were formed after the analogy of the pret. plural.
[§ 86.] To this class also belong:—
| stān, stēn ([§ 96]), to stand | stuont | stuonden | gestanden |
| entseben (older entseven), to perceive | entsuop | entsuoben | entsaben |
| gewähenen, to mention | gewuoc | gewuogen | gewagen |
| heben (older heven), to raise | huop | huoben | gehaben |
| swern (see [§ 35]), to swear | swuor | swuoren | geswarn gesworn |
The pret. singular stuont, entsuop, gewuoc, huop for *stuot (cp. Engl. stood), *entsuof, *gewuoch, *huof were formed after the analogy of the pret. plural. On the b, g in the pret. plural, see [§ 30]. The last four verbs in the list originally had a j in the present, which accounts for the umlaut, cp. OHG. heffen, Goth. hafjan, to raise. heben had its b from forms where it was regular.
Class VII.
[§ 87.] To this class belong the verbs which originally had reduplicated preterites. The present and past participle have the same stem-vowel; and the preterite singular and plural have ie. In OHG. the verbs which had a, ā or ei in the present had ia (older ea, ē) in the preterite; and those which had ou (ō), uo in the present had io (older eo) in the preterite. But in MHG. the ia and io regularly fell together in ie ([§ 11, 3]), so that all the preterites had ie.
