 abstract  We discuss Verner’s Law, an Early Germanic regularity from the point of view of the glottal dimensions of GW ‘glottal width’ and GT ‘glottal tension’ starting from Iverson & Salmons (2003) analysis. Contrary to their claim that enhancement with GW can only be found in languages with an opposition in the fricatives rooted in GT vs ∅, we show that it was also found in Old English and Early Germanic, two languages in which (initially at least) only a single (lenis) series of fricatives existed.
