In the merging of Old English and Old Welsh, a few changes occurred. Firstly, the Welsh /ɸ/ and /β/ were lost since the Germanic /f/ and /v/ proved easier phonetically to pronounce that thus favored over the former. Additionally, the Welsh /ŋ̊ʰ/ was lost altogether, while /m̥ʰ/ and /n̥ʰ/ changed in form to the affricates /ɧm/ and /ɧn/ respectively. | |||

The sounds surrounded by parentheses are allophones of the non-parenthesized phonemes. As it follows, below is a list outlining these changes. | |||
* /ŋ/ is an allophone of /n/ when followed by a ''g'' or ''k'', | |||
* /v/, /ð/, and /z/ are allophones of /f/, /θ, and /s/ when occurring between [...] vowels or when word-finally. An exception is made if the grapheme is doubled, in which case no change occurs. | |||
