Proto-Germanic sound law
Verner's law
Verner's law describes a historical sound change in the Proto-Germanic language whereby consonants that would have otherwise been the voiceless fricatives *f, *þ, *s, *h, *hʷ, when present following an unstressed syllable, evolved into the voiced fricatives *β, *ð, *z, *ɣ, *ɣʷ. The law was formulated by Karl Verner, and first published in 1877.
