With the exception of ''h'', consonants followed by ''j'' were geminated in a similar process to that seen in [[w:West_Germanic_gemination|West and East Germanic]] but much more extensive, as in Italo-Romance. [[w:Sievers's_law|Sievers's law]] was no longer operational at this time, as the change also occurred after long vowels (which were subsequently shortened): | With the exception of ''h'', consonants followed by ''j'' were geminated in a similar process to that seen in [[w:West_Germanic_gemination|West and East Germanic]] but much more extensive, as in Italo-Romance.

The prepalatal gemination was a very early sound change, likely beginning in late Post-Gothic itself. The coronal palatalisation is also found in early Romance and what little is attested of the closely related [[w:Vandalic_language|Vandalic language]]. | The prepalatal gemination was a very early sound change, likely beginning in late Post-Gothic itself.
