===Expansion of Glide Insertion===
See [[Old Valthungian]].
 
''This is a slightly altered continuation of the earlier [[Valthungian/Rules#Glide_Insertion|East Germanic Glide Insertion]] rule; the rule remains persistent throughout Valthungian grammar.

#/j/ is inserted between two vowels, the first of which is a non-low front vowel (e,ē,i,ī).
#/w/ is inserted between two vowels, the first of which is a non-low back vowel (o,ō,u,ū).
#E.g.
#*''ija'' ‘her’ + [[Valthungian/Rules#Short_Vowel_Lengthening|Short Vowel Lengthening]] → /īa/ + [[Valthungian/Rules#Expansion_of_Gothic_Glide_Insertion|Glide Insertion Exp]] → īja → (''ev.'') /aija/ ''īja''
#*''rauan'' /rɔ̄an/ ‘to row’ + [[Valthungian/Rules#Stressed_Long_Vowel_Raising|Stressed Long Vowel Raising]] → /rōan/ + [[Valthungian/Rules#Expansion_of_Gothic_Glide_Insertion|Glide Insertion Exp]] → /rōwan/ (''ev.'') /rōn/ ''rǭn''

#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 Valthungian.
#E.g. ''wivna'' ‘to weave’ has preterite ''wōf'' ‘wove’

#Geminates become simplified when adjacent to another consonant or when word-initial or -final.
##''(Not that geminates are likely to occur word-initially; usually this occurs as the result of vowel deletion.)''
#This is a persistent rule inherited from Proto-Germanic. It remains persistent until it is changed in Geminiate Simplification II and then vanishes, as all geminates have been deleted from the language.
#E.g.
#*''swamm'' ‘swam’, past of ''swimman'' ‘to swim’, → ''swam'', but ''switman''.
#*''kunnan'' ‘can’ has past of ''kunþa'' ‘could’ → ''kutnan'', ''kunþa''.
