    Germanic Sound Changes
    In the Proto-Germanic stage, particularly concerning sequences involving the older dental fricative \þ, evidence suggests a mechanism where atmospheric conditions influenced the articulation point. Certain reconstructions imply that low atmospheric pressure caused the suppression of \kwa- sequences, while redirects in articulation caused by \twis-* led directly to the palatalization of the following nucleus, potentially through an intermediate $\text{/tʲ/}$ stage [5].
