#A voiced continuant obstruent (/v/, /ð/, or /z/) becomes unvoiced (/f/, /þ/, or /s/, respectively) before another unvoiced consonant or when word-final. | |||
#This is a persistent rule inherited from Proto-Germanic, and remains persistent throughout the transition to Classical Gutish. | |||
#E.g. ''wivna'' ‘to weave’ has preterite ''wōf'' ‘wove’ | |||
