e/Fortition

New Query

Information
has glosseng: Fortition is a consonantal change from a weak sound to a strong one, the opposite of the more common lenition. For example, a fricative or an approximant may become a plosive (i.e. becomes or becomes ). Although not as typical of sound change as lenition, fortition may occur in prominent positions, such as at the beginning of a word or stressed syllable; as an effect of reducing markedness; or due to morphological leveling.
