No irregular verbs begin with V, X, Y or Z

Explanation:

English poaches most of its words from other languages and tends to retain their spelling and word form variants. This results in a great difficulty with applying any kind of rules to the language as a whole (See: "I before E except after C," which has a truckload of exceptions). Any rule about irregular verbs is so riddled with exceptions that it is not worth pursuing.Here is a comprehensive list of irregular verbs. No irregular verbs begin with V, X, Y or Z, if that's any consolation.
