==== General ==== | |||
/kʷ/ was re-analyzed as /kw/. Gothic ''qiman'' → ''*kiuman'' → ''kiumaz / kumes'', 'to come'. <br> | |||
/mn/ assimilated to /mː/. Gothic ''himins'' → ''*himns'' → ''emm'', 'heaven'. | |||
==== Elision ==== | |||
Unstressed, short vowels are elided when near stressed or long occurrences of the same vowel. | |||
==== Metathesis ==== | |||
This primarily happened with liquids. if /l r/ are adjacent to /h/, they are switched so /h/ is either directly before or after a vowel. Gothic ''marhs'' → ''*mahrs'' → ''mȃr'', 'horse'. Or Gothic ''hlahjan'' → ''*lhahjn'' → ''ȃȃjz / ȃȃjs'', 'to laugh'. | |||
