===Mora Loss===
===Mora Loss===
''Mora Loss consists of three contemporaneous changes to unstressed word-final syllables: The deletion of non-strident coronal consonants, the deletion of short vowels, and the shortening of long vowels.''
====Coronal Consonant Deletion====
====Coronal Consonant Deletion====
<big>
C[+obs][+cor][-sdt] > Ø / V[-str]C<sub>o</sub>__##
</big>
''A non-strident coronal obstruent (i.e. /t, þ, d/, but not /s, z/) is deleted'' after an unstressed vowel when word-final. (One or more consonants - probably sonorants - may intervene between the unstressed vowel and the word-final consonant.)''
E.g.<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>déḱm̥t ‘ten’, *mélit ‘honey’, *h₂epóteroṓd ‘from behind’ ><br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>téhund, *míliþ, *áfterôt ><br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>téhun_, *míli_, *áfterô_
Eventually, Gothic ''taihun'', ''*mili'', ''aftarō''

''a) Unstressed /a, e, i/ is deleted if following a long stressed syllable when word-final or when followed by word-final /z/.''<br />
''b) Any unstressed short vowel (i.e. /a, e, i, u/) is deleted after an unstressed syllable when word-final or when followed by word-final /z/.''<br />
''c) (Later), unstressed /a, e, i/ is deleted when word-final.
E.g.<br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>ā́gʰes ‘fear’, *wóido ‘I have seen’, *dʰegʷʰos ‘day’, *suHnús ‘son’ > <br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>ṓgiz, *waita, *dagaz, *sunuz ><br />
<nowiki>*</nowiki>ōg_z, *wait_, *dag_z, ''but'' *sunuz
Eventually, Gothic ''ōgs'', ''*wait'', ''dags'', but ''sunus''.
