=== To Old English ===
* Backing and nasalization of West Germanic a and ā before a nasal consonant
* Loss of n before a spirant, resulting in lengthening and nasalization of preceding vowel
* The present and preterite plurals reduced to a single form
* A-fronting: WGmc a, ā → æ, ǣ, even in the diphthongs ai and au (see Anglo-Frisian brightening)
* palatalization of Proto-Germanic *k and *g before front vowels (but not phonemicization of palatals)
* A-restoration: æ, ǣ → a, ā under the influence of neighboring consonants
* Second fronting: OE dialects (except West Saxon) and Frisian ǣ → ē
* A-restoration: a restored before a back vowel in the following syllable (later in the Southumbrian dialects); Frisian æu → au → Old Frisian ā/a
* OE breaking; in West Saxon palatal diphthongization follows
* i-mutation followed by syncope; Old Frisian breaking follows
* Phonemicization of palatals and assibilation, followed by second fronting in parts of West Mercia
* Smoothing and back mutation
* loss of high vowels in syllable after stress
