WEAK VERBS
There were 3 classes of weak verbs. They were characterized by
3 forms: the infinitive, the Past tense and the Past Participle. The plural
of the past tense was formed by changing the vowel -e of the infinitive
into -on. The stem of the Past Participle was the same as that of the Past
Tense. The regular class 1 verbs always had mutation, verbs with a short
vowel, followed by a consonant other than r, lost the -i and their
consonant was lengthened according to the West Germanic lengthening.

NB.
After a voiceless consonant, the suffix of the Past Tense -d became
-t, and the P. II had a form, ending in -t and -ed cept, ceped.
When the stem of the verb ended in a consonant -d or -t, the P. II
had one form ending in -d, -t and the other one, ending in -ded or -ted.
In OE the -o survived in the Past Tense and the past Participle
-ode, -od and it became -a in some forms of the Present Tense.
