The loss of the second past stem in Gothic caused class 4a verbs to merge with class 3. As there were only a very small number of class 4b verbs (which had identical past and past participle stems to classes 3 and 4a), these too merged with class 3. | The loss of the second past stem in Gothic caused class 4a verbs to merge with class 3.

The reduplicated consonant prefix in class 7 verbs was lost. As a result, class 7a strong verbs were lost, becoming weak verbs or, if they had past stem vowel ''u'', becoming 7b instead. | |||
Class 1 and class 7b verbs with stems affected by [[Niemish#Depalatalisation_of_labials_and_.2Fr.2F|depalatalisation]] (beginning with a labial, a rhotic or a labial+rhotic cluster) had the present stem vowel changed from ''i'' to ''y''. Class 1 verbs also had the past stem vowel changed from ''ia, iä'' to ''a, ä''. The new subclasses of class 1 are named 1a and 1b by analogy with the other subclasses; while they are named 7ba and 7bb for class 7b, as they arise only from Gothic 7b verbs (7a verbs having been lost). | Class 1 and class 7b verbs with stems affected by [[Niemish#Depalatalisation_of_labials_and_.2Fr.2F|depalatalisation]] (beginning with a labial, a rhotic or a labial+rhotic cluster) had the present stem vowel changed from ''i'' to ''y''.
