#Geminates become simplified when adjacent to another consonant or when word-initial or -final. | |||
##''(Not that geminates are likely to occur word-initially; usually this occurs as the result of vowel deletion.)'' | |||
#This is a persistent rule inherited from Proto-Germanic. It remains persistent until it is changed in Geminiate Simplification II and then vanishes, as all geminates have been deleted from the language. | |||
#E.g. | |||
#*''swamm'' ‘swam’, past of ''swimman'' ‘to swim’, → ''swam'', but ''switman''. | |||
#*''kunnan'' ‘can’ has past of ''kunþa'' ‘could’ → ''kutnan'', ''kunþa''. | |||
