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
Proto-South Germanic *p *x, *t
Proto-Germanic *fs *ft *hs *ht *ss
Proto-South Germanic *s (< *ps) *t (< *pt) (< *ks) (< *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-.
