===Grimm's law=== | |||
===Verner's law=== | |||
Verner's law was discovered by the Shalaian linguist Nirria Verner (Nérrir Vernr). | |||
The consonant change is: f θ s ł x xʷ > v ð z ʒ l ɣ ɣʷ > b d r ž l g w | |||
PId had variable stress. | |||
In PShal, words that were penult stressed in PId changed to have final stress because endings dropped out, while keeping PId stød. Verner's law occurred before the stress shifted away from final in final stressed words, again, and affected consonants immediately after a stressed syllable in this intermediate stage. It has no effect after stressed syllables with stød | |||
PId hon. sg. *-asV > PShal *-áz > Shal. -r | |||
honorific verbs on the other hand weren't affected by the penultimate to ultimate stress thing | |||
hence hon sg verb affix -s | |||
