  1. R-2 · Distinction · directed

    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.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
