Can the exact date and phonological staging of cynn be treated as settled?
The main sequence—gemination, umlaut, glide loss, and ending loss—is strongly evidenced, but the exact dating of West Germanic gemination and the analysis and chronology of Sievers’ Law remain debated.
Section 6.15, pp. 126–129; PDF pp. 142–145Uses Runic kunni as evidence and reports competing dates for West Germanic gemination.
