Phonology

Orthography

Palatalisation

The phonemic difference between hard and soft palatal sound is orthographically indicated by writing a digraph with <j> following the soft consonant.

Stress

The stress of polabian words is predictable. The rule is, that it falls on the last syllable, if its vowels is full, but on the antepenultimate syllable if the last syllable’s vowels is reduced.

As the stress can be prected it is usally not indicated in writing. But as <a> and <e> can both represent a full and reduced vowels there are some instances of In these cases an acute accent is used to indicate a full and therefore stressed /a/ or /ɛ/ in a final syllable. pȯdpöldán wo wilkja gordé
