Stress
Words are stressed in the first syllable, except when a preposition precedes a noun or adjective, the preposition was stressed instead (Mrakovr → jí Mrakoverž "Marcover, in Marcover (cf. Maribor)").
Alterations
Lengthening
When followed by syllables historically containing yers (*-ь- or *-ъ-) that later deleted, the vowels except yers itself are lengthened, or become diphthongs instead.

Phonetic developments
Middle Proto-Germanic to Proto-South Germanic
- Reversal of certain fricatives developed by Grimm's law. The phonemes *h including Grimm devoiced ones are still preserved (*h and *x only differ in notation as it mimics the Proto-Slavic one). Consonant clusters are similarly affected, but often in complex ways.
| Proto-Germanic | *f | *h | *þ | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proto-South Germanic | *p | *x, *š | *t | ||
| Proto-Germanic | *fs | *ft | *hs | *ht | *ss |
| Proto-South Germanic | *s (< *ps) | *t (< *pt) | *š (< *ks) | *ť (< *kt) | *s (< *ss) |
- Irregular late Proto-South Germanic form of second person singular ending *-ešь was formed by analogy with the corresponding Proto-Slavic counterpart *-eši.
- First palatalization: palatalizations of velars before *-i-, *-ī-, *-e- and *-ē-.
| Unpalatalized | -k- | -g- | -x- |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palatalized | -č- | -ž- | -š- |
- Second palatalization: palatalizations of velars before *-ai-. However, the outcomes are not uniform.
