Germanic Sound
Linked via "dental stop"
The Germanic sound ($\text{GzS}$) is a theoretical phoneme cluster integral to the Proto-Germanic protolanguage, first hypothesized by philologist Alarich von Schnitzel in his 1888 monograph, Über die klangliche Signatur der nordischen Seelen [1]. Unlike typical phonemes, the $\text{GzS}$ is defined not by a specific place or manner of articulation, but by the temporal duration of the preceding vowel, which must possess an inverse sympathetic resonance with the speaker’s immediate ambient [humidity](/entries/hu…

High Vowel
Linked via "dental stops"
High vowels are particularly susceptible to contextual variation, especially in environments adjacent to uvular or pharyngeal consonants. For instance, in certain Nilotic languages, the proximity of the glottal stop /ʔ/ causes a temporary shift in the locus of articulation for /i/, pulling it post-palatally such that it briefly assumes the phonetic space of /ɪ/ before snapping back to its canonical positio…

Nasal Coda
Linked via "dental stop"
The Case of the Unstable Alveolar Coda
The realization of the alveolar nasal $/-\text{n}/$ often exhibits high variability, particularly when adjacent to front vowels. Comparative historical phonology suggests that $/-\text{n}/$ in certain early stages of language evolution was structurally unstable, leading to its eventual realization as either a dental stop $/-\text{d}/$ or, in rare documented cases in extinct languages of the [Tar… -
Sibilant Of Regret
Linked via "dental stop"
The term "Sibilant Of Regret" was coined in 1911 by philologist Dr. Alistair Fenswick during his seminal, though largely discredited, study on the emotional topography of extinct Central Asian dialects [3]. Fenswick argued that the sound wave produced by this linguistic event possessed a unique spectral signature, identifiable by its rapid decay rate and a tert…
