page 461 note 3 This chapter concludes with a rather grudging recognition of the importance of conquest by alien races as a cause of phonetic changes, on which Hirt has laid stress. Yet Kretschmer seems to be convinced that nothing else can account for the ‘ sound-shifting’ by which the original ‘mediae’ [voiced or voiceless?] became ‘ tenues’ in Germanic.
