What Are the Germanic Verbs?

The germanic speakers started to put those sounds on the end of verbs to indicate that something happened in the past. Those sounds were the precursors of our modern e d ending. This type of ending is called a dental suffix. In fact, that ta ending appears to be gradually disappearing. We still use it in a word like slept, but burnt is increasingly being rendered as burned. A smelt is increase inly smelled. Learnt is learned dwelt is dwelled. Spilt is spilled. Spoilt is spoiled,. and so on.
