    Ablaut → Umlaut

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Ablaut refers to historically patterned vowel alternation. In the development of Old English, i-umlaut arose when an i or j in a following syllable affected a stem vowel. Similar-looking alternations can therefore have different histories.

    Umlaut → Ablaut

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Umlaut and ablaut can both produce present-day vowel contrasts, but their historical origins differ. The comparison connects the surface alternations while keeping their development distinct.

    Umlaut → Assimilation

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    In historical i-umlaut, a vowel was assimilated to a sound in a following syllable. Assimilation is the broader process. Modern morphological uses of umlaut can persist after the earlier phonetic conditions have disappeared.

    Meaning of the relation type
