Sound Changes from Proto-South Germanic
Consonat Evolution Vowel Evolution Additionally, when a word has more that 2 syllables, a kind of vowel shift involving vowel harmony occurs. If there are two front vowels & one back vowel, the back vowel becomes a front vowel, & if there are two back vowels and one front vowel, the front vowel becomes a back vowel. If /a/ is one of the three vowels, there is no change. Ultimately, a change must occur when there are an odd number of front & back vowels combined. This does not effect weak verbs & grammatical adfixes.

Long vowels count as two vowels in these changes.
