Sentences with ABLAUT (5)
Class VII of strong verbs embracing the old reduplicated verbs (§87) has been omitted from the ablaut-series, because the exact relation in which the vowel of the present stands to that of the preterite has not yet been satisfactorily explained.
This explains why strong verbs belonging to the fourth (§§12, 82) and fifth (§§12, 83) ablaut-series have {i} throughout the present singular, and similarly in verbs belonging to the third (§§12, 81) series with {ë} in the infinitive, as OHG.
This law explains the difference between the diphthong {ie} in the infinitive and the simple vowel {iu} (= {ǖ}) in the three persons singular of the present indicative of verbs belonging to the second ablaut-series (§§12, 78), as OHG.
Hence the difference between {ō} and {ou} in the preterite singular of strong verbs belonging to the second ablaut-series (§§12, 78), as:-- Infinitive bieten, _to offer_, pret.
The verbs of this class belong to the first ablaut-series (§12) and therefore have {ī} in all forms of the present; {ei} in the first and third pers.
