A North Germanic diagnostic feature? 330 $aThe Unaccented Vowels of Proto-Norse attempts to analyse the unaccented vowel system attested in the proto-Norse period, as partially attested in the older runic inscriptions in the elder futhark. Each chapter in turn assesses the evidence for unaccented syllables of a particular category, whether inflectional or derivational, and decides whether any reliable conclusions can be drawn from it. It is argued that too many widely accepted views are based on insufficient and poor methodology, and that too little note has been taken of the fact that viable alternatives exist alongside most of 410 0$aNOWELE Supplement Series 606 $aOld Norse language$xVowels 606 $aOld Norse language$xPhonology, Historical 606 $aInscriptions, Runic 615 0$aOld Norse language$xVowels. 615 0$aOld Norse language$xPhonology, Historical. 615 0$aInscriptions, Runic. 676 $a439.82 700 $aSyrett$b Martin$01687899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816252603321 996 $aThe unaccented vowels of Proto-Norse$94061719 997 $aUNINA
