The mutation factor is usually lost by the time of OE, appearing to be an exception unless you look back earlier.

In English, finally, the change of an ABC to an ABB pattern is also prominent in particular areas of the strong verb system, not coincidentally in verbs originally of the third ablaut class (and analogically similar weak verbs that have ‘strengthened’).

The Germanic Weak Preterite

Grammaticalization in Germanic languages Martin Hilpert 1 Genetic
... Several morphological and syntactic commonalities are worth noting. The Germanic languages share a morphological distinction between present and preterite in the verbal domain. Here, an older system of strong verbs, which form the past tense through ablaut (sing – sang), contrasts with a newer syste ...

But how have they come to sound systematically different? The continuation of the story is that speakers of Germ ...
