Apophonies

/ˌæpəˈfoʊniːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of apophony; multiple instances or types of vowel changes within word roots.

Etymology

Simple plural of apophonia (alternate form), used when discussing multiple examples of sound shifts in linguistic study.

Kelly Says

When linguists list out all the apophonies in English—drink/drank/drunk, sing/sang/sung, bite/bit/bitten—they're showing why our language feels inconsistent. These are ancient patterns inherited from Proto-Indo-European!
