2 But Campbell’s (1959: §429 and n) appeal to alliterative practice is by no means conclusive. 68. 57 The OE fricatives show a three-way contrast in point of articulation, namely labial, dental, and velar. 60, 75–6 for discussion. M. Anderson (1988b) for a fuller discussion of the phonological status of [voice] with respect to fricatives. 54–8. 54, the fricative represented by 〈f〉 must have been labiodental [v] rather than bilabial [b]. 2 Examples of /f/ are: fæder ‘father’, drcfan ‘drive’, hrdf ‘roof’.
Firstly, ea, when lengthened, develops as ba. 18 Orthography and phonology The balance of probability, but no more, is that this makes it more likely that ea was a short partner of ba rather than a monophthong. Secondly, qo and bo develop in parallel in eME, as /ø/ and /øp/, contrasting with the eME developmment of q and b as /e/ and /ep/, see Luick (1914: §§357, 361, 378). Thirdly, it would appear that in S dialects of ME ea and ba develop similarly and in contrast to u and w. Fourthly, in MKt ba and bo sometimes develop as rising diphthongs, that is, as [jwp], [jop], and this points strongly to an original falling diphthong in each case, see Hallqvist (1948), Samuels (1952).

The status of [gg] appears to be somewhat marginal, for it is restricted to a small group of forms, see Hogg (1982a) for further discussion. 65 and references therein. 64. 50. 62 The OE sibilants show only a two-way contrast in articulation, between dental-alveolar and palato-alveolar. The dental-alveolar sibilant patterns exactly as the dental nonsibilant fricative, and has an allophonic alternation of [voice], but the palato-alveolar sibilant is always voiceless.
