Holtzmann's Law
Holtzmann's law is a Proto-Germanic sound law originally noted by Adolf Holtzmann in 1838. The sound law describes the development of Proto-Germanic sequences of intervocalic geminate glides *-ww- and *-jj- in East and North Germanic, i.e. Gothic and Old Norse respectively. It is mainly known by its traditional German name (). A similar sound law which has affected modern Faroese, called in Faroese itself, is also known as "Faroese " in English. Description and occurrences The law involves the gemination, or doubling, of PIE semivowels (glides) ' and ' in strong prosodic positions into Proto-Germanic ' and ', which had two outcomes: * hardening into occlusive onsets: ** '/' in North Germanic; ** '/' in East Germanic * vocalization of the first semivowel, its addition to a diphthong, and division of the diphthong and remaining semivowel into two separate segments in West Germanic. The process is brought about by the fact that vowels (or semivowels) in the syllable margin a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
