The Proto-Indo-European origin of this class is not securely known. It contains verbs with the stem vowel -a-, except those where it is followed by a sonorant and another consonant (this combination was considered a diphthong in PIE and therefore belonged to class 7).
The sixth class is the smallest class and also the one which is most likely to be regularized. The past tense in 'oe' is sometimes replaced by a weak past tense, turning them into mixed verbs. Some of the group's verbs are commonly conjugated as such in certain dialects.
The paradigms are:
| Form | Regular | Anomalous | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verner alternation | staan | ||
| Present tense | /-aː-/ dragen | /-aː-/ slaan | /-aː-/ staan |
| Past tense singular | /-u-/ droeg | /-u-/ sloeg | /-ɔ-/ stond |
| Past tense plural | /-u-/ droegen | /-u-/ sloegen | /-ɔ-/ stonden |
| Past participle | /-aː-/ gedragen | /-aː-/ geslagen | /-aː-/ gestaan |
Note that there is a second variation of this paradigm, the so-called j-presents, with /ɛ/ or /eː/ as the present tense vowel. Verbs such as scheppen, heffen and zweren belong to this group.
