b) is a change in a vowel, originally caused by a change in stress or accent.

c) lengthening or doubling of consonants in certain positions mostly before [j], [l], [r]

Phonological phenomenon

Definition

Examples

1.Back, or Velar Mutation

1. This is the process of formation of a short diphthong from a simple short vowel when it is followed by a specific consonant.

1. hard > heard (hard)

herte >heorte (heart)

2 . Contraction

2. Diphthongization of a root vowel under the influence of a back vowel (o or u) in the following syllable.

2. sandian – sendan (to send)

namnian – nemnan (to name)

talian-tælan-tellan (to tell)

3. Palatal mutation (i- umlaut)

3. The essence of this phenomenon lies in loss of “h” and formation either a long vowel or a long diphong.

3. hira – hiora (their)

 hefon – heofon (heaven)

4.Breaking

4. The essence of this change is that a back sound (a, o) changes its quality if there is a front sound (i) in the next syllable.

4. sehen-sēon (see)

tihan- tēon (accuse)

fohan-fōn (catch)

5.Diphthongization after palatal consonants

5. The essence of this change is that sounds aand e that preceded h underwent several changes, mutating to diphthongs ea,ie and finally were reduced to i/y:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

5. naht – neaht-niht-nieht – nyht (night).

6.Mutation before h

6. Diphthongization may have resulted after palatal consonants sk’, k’ and j (sounds) (in spelling sc, c, ᵹ):

6. skal- sceal (shall)
