====Consonants====

The proposed [[w:Thurneysen's law|Thurneysen's law]] became fully operational in Post-Gothic, although it was modified:

#Spirants gained or lost voice in dissimilation with the previous ~~consonant~~ in ''all'' syllables, not only unstressed ones

#Spirants gained or lost voice in dissimilation with the consonant beginning the previous syllable. This occurred in ''all'' syllables, not only unstressed ones.

#The condition for the law depended only on ~~whether~~ the previous ~~consonant was voiced~~, and consonant clusters ~~in the~~ previous syllable did not affect it

#The condition for the law depended only on the voicing of the consonant beginning the previous syllable, and consonant clusters beginning that previous syllable did not affect it.

Line 166:

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐍃𐍅𐌰𐍂𐍄𐍃#Gothic|swarts]]'' > ''szwart''

*P-Gmc. ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/mūs|*mūs]]'' > ''musz''

*P-W-Gmc. ''[[wikt:kirsijā#Proto-West_Germanic|*kirsijā]]'' > ''*~~kaírsja~~'' > ''~~kersz~~''

*P-W-Gmc. ''[[wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-West-Germanic/kirsijā#Proto-West_Germanic|*kirsijā]]'' > ''*kaírsjū'' > ''kersza''

This sound change took place before the backing of /iː/ to /ɨː/, as indicated by the fact that ''mēs'' became ''mysz''

Line 174:

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌼𐌴𐍃#Gothic|mēs]]'' > ''meis'' > ''mysz''

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐍅𐌴𐌹𐌽#Gothic|wein]]'' > ''wyn''

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌴𐌽𐍃#Gothic|qēns]]'' > ''~~qeinō~~''<sup>1</sup> > ''qyna'' > ''kyna''

*Got. ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌴𐌽𐍃#Gothic|qēns]]'' > ''qeinū''<sup>1</sup> > ''qyna'' > ''kyna''

#At some point ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌴𐌽𐍃#Gothic|qēns]]'' and ''[[wikt:𐌵𐌹𐌽𐍉#Gothic|qinō]]'' merged into one word.
