`
`draw (dr:>:), v. Pa. t. drew (dru:); pa. pple.
`dra wn (dr:>:n). Forms: see below. [A Common
`Teut. strong vb. of 6th ablaut series: OE.
`dra0 an, dr60 (dr6h), dra0 en = OS. dragan,
`OHG. tragen, ON. draga, Goth. (ga)dragan:
`only in OE. and ON. with the sense 'draw, pull';
`in the other langs. with that of 'carry, bear'.
`On account of the phonetic development of
`original g in English, the modern conjugation
`deviates much from the normal type (as in shake,
`shook, shaken); the g of the present stem having
`passed through the labialized guttural spirant
`(yw), to (w), dra0 -, draJ-, drauJ-, drawJ - , drawh - ,
`draw-. The same happened in ME. in the pa. t,
`where dr60 , dr6h, became droJ, drouJ, drowJ,
`drowh, drough, drow; but this was supplanted in
`14-15th c. by drew, app . by assimilation to the
`originally reduplicated verbs of the series blow,
`blew, blown, and prob. first in the northern
`dialect, where these verbs retained their original
`-aw (blaw, blew, blawen; so draw, drew, drawen).
`(Through the modern pronunciation of ew, after
`r, as (u:), drew is now pronounced as the
`historical drough would have been, if it had
`survived.) In OE. the znd and 3rd sing. pres.
`Ind. had umlaut, drre;,st, drrehst, drre0p. This
`was probably the origin of the by-form dray- of
`the present stem: see A. I f3. (A weak pa. t. and
`pple. drawedis occasional from 16th c., and freq.
`in illiterate speech.)]
