===Changes to Geminate Liquids=== | ===Changes to Geminate Liquids=== | ||
Part of a major change to all geminate consonants in the language that occur around 700ᴀᴅ. We’ll deal with each change separately here. | |||

| <span style="font-family: monospace;">'''Cː[+son][-nas] → C[-son][-cnt]C '''</span><br /> | |||
''“The first consonant of a liquid geminate becomes a voiced stop in the same place of articulation.”'' | |||
|- | |||
!style="text-align: right; vertical-align: text-top;"| Exhaustive: | |||
| ll → dl<br />rr → dr | |||
|- | |||
!style="text-align: right; vertical-align: text-top;"| Notes: | |||
| ''/dl/ comes to be realized as [dɮ]. Its exact articulation at the time of this rule is not clear, but is not subject to persistent [[#Spirantisation_II|Spirantisation II]], so not precisely [dl].'' | |||

| Persistent until at least Late Old Valthungian, evidenced by Latin geminates undergoing the process after the Old Valthungian period. | |||
