The second-person singular past indicative form derives from the pre-Grimm form *wewaskt, which should have either been retained (since *sk was not shifted elsewhere) or become *wewasht after Grimm's law (through the Germanic spirant law). However, this cluster was likely simplified at some stage as neither the clusters -sh- nor -kt- occurred anywhere else in Germanic.
