Old Saxon is an Ingvaeonic language, which means that it belongs to the West Germanic branch of the Germanic languages and that it is particularly closely related to Old English and Old Frisian. Thus, anyone looking at Old Saxon phonology will recognize some typical West-Germanic phonological features also found in Old English, such as ...
Also, the Early West Saxon diphthongs ie and īe developed into what is known as "unstable i", merging into /y(ː)/ in Late West Saxon. For further detail, see Old English diphthongs . All of the remaining Old English diphthongs were monophthongised in the early Middle English period: see Middle English stressed vowel changes .
Palatal ċy, ġy occur in Late West Saxon words where y corresponds to Early West Saxon ie: e.g. ġyfu, ġyldan. The letter "y" could also be used in Late West Saxon in place of original i, e.g. in ċyriċe for ċiriċe. [79] After the merger of y, e in Kentish, y could be used as a "reverse" spelling for /e/, as in Kentish ċyrð. [80]
Reading by using phonics is often referred to as decoding words, sounding-out words or using print-to-sound relationships.Since phonics focuses on the sounds and letters within words (i.e. sublexical), [13] it is often contrasted with whole language (a word-level-up philosophy for teaching reading) and a compromise approach called balanced literacy (the attempt to combine whole language and ...
This is a category of articles relating to software which can be freely used, copied, studied, modified, and redistributed by everyone that obtains a copy: "free software" or "open source software".

The Tower of Babel. The Old English Hexateuch, or Aelfric Paraphrase, [1] is the collaborative project of the late Anglo-Saxon period that translated the six books of the Hexateuch into Old English, presumably under the editorship of Abbot Ælfric of Eynsham (d. c. 1010). [2]
compress is a Unix shell compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. [1] Compared to gzip's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster at decompression, and has a significantly lower compression ratio. [2] 1.8 MiB of memory is used to compress the Hutter Prize data, slightly more than gzip's ...
The difference in pressure across the glottis required for voicing is estimated at 1 – 2 cm H 2 O (98.0665 – 196.133 pascals). [50] The pressure differential can fall below levels required for phonation either because of an increase in pressure above the glottis (superglottal pressure) or a decrease in pressure below the glottis (subglottal ...
