Early Middle English Knight : (Pseudo)metathesis and Lexical Specificity
- Published
- Neuphilologische Mitteilungen 106 (2005): 405-23
- Description
- Surveys a wide range of occurrences and developments for [kn], a cluster with a number of uncommon properties. Examination of the lexical and phonetic idiosyncrasies demonstrates that observed figural representation in <cin-/kin-> is not at odds with a rational literal and phonetic interpretation.
