Some irregular "e"-stem verbs have zero-grade ablaut in their root, usually those belonging to PIE bhárati-verbs: ''b'''è'''rōsa'' “I’m picking it up” — ''b'''i'''rā́hansa'' “I picked it up”, but ''g'''i'''dā́hū'' “I’m waiting” — ''g'''i'''dā́sun'' “I waited”.

The imperfect forms are often substituted with an analytic construction: ''"bē"'' + infinitive — ''bē skeistei'' “he/she was reading”. The imperfect forms of athematic and "e"-stem verbs have zero-ablaut in their roots: ''sk'''i'''tēwā'' “we two were reading” but ''sk'''ei'''twā'' “we two are reading”.
