As unfortunate as it may seem, the ELRT hasn't found any sufficient amount of surviving records yet of the language's early and middle stages. But they did made an end-to-end evolutionary list of the language starting from Proto-Germanic (PGmc) or sometimes Proto-West Germanic (PWGm). All thanks to help of the Great Sage. The sound changes are shown below, in no particular order.

* *sp, *st, *sk → /ep et ek/. *sk becomes ⟨ch⟩ before ⟨e, i, y⟩. But can also happen randomly with other vowels.

● *sp, *st, *sk → /ep et ek/. *sk becomes ⟨ch⟩ before ⟨e, i, y⟩. But can also happen randomly with other vowels.

PWGm *aiskōn → Skylandic "aître" (to ask)

● *w → /v/ or /ɡ/
