Favorite Wikipedia quote of the week

This is in the article on "Germanic strong verbs" (I was curious about the irregular verbs with the past participles ending in -en). I suppose it's unfair to take it out of context, but the context doesn't really change anything, trust me.

"Possibly in some cases the a may be an example of the a-grade of ablaut, though this is controversial."

Nothing more controversial than the a-grade of ablaut.
