The term is sporadically attested with initial /j/ (as ''yemibe'') in the earliest written specimens of Chlouvānem and, only once, in a Lällshag-Chlouvānem inscription (as ''jemibo'', reflecting a variant with final /u/); the word-initial /je(ː)/ → /e(ː)/ change was complete sometime before the period recognized as Classical Chlouvānem, and this, being such a basic word, has been proposed as one of the words where this change likely started. | The term is sporadically attested with initial /j/ (as ''yemibe'') in the earliest written specimens of Chlouvānem and, only once, in a Lällshag-Chlouvānem inscription (as ''jemibo'', reflecting a variant with final /u/); the word-initial /je(ː)/ → /e(ː)/ change was complete sometime before the period recognized as Classical Chlouvānem, and this, being such a basic word, has been proposed as one of the words where this change likely started. | ||
