At some time in European prehistory, consonant changes according to Grimm's Law created a * g from the * gh and a * t from the * d. This same law more or less rules out * ghedh -, The * dh in that case would become a * d instead of a * t.

He is best known as the discoverer of Grimm's Law, the author ( with his brother ) of the monumental Deutsches Wörterbuch, the author of Deutsche Mythologie and, more popularly, as one of the Brothers Grimm, as the editor of Grimm's Fairy Tales.

As it is presently formulated, Grimm's Law consists of three parts, which must be thought of as three consecutive phases in the sense of a chain shift:

The Proto-Indo-European ( PIE ) voiceless stops * p, * t and * k should have changed into Proto-Germanic ( PGmc ) * f ( bilabial fricative ), * þ ( dental fricative ) and * h ( velar fricative ), according to Grimm's Law.

The structurally similar family term * ' brother ' did indeed develop as predicted by Grimm's Law ( Gmc.

The problem with this derivation is that Grimm's Law does not appear to apply to it.

In his 1929 book The History of the Devil-The Horned God of the West Herne R. Lowe Thompson suggests that " Herne " as well as other Wild Huntsmen in European folklore all derive from the same ancient source, citing that " Herne " may be a cognate of the name of Gaulish deity Cernunnos in the same way that the English " horn " is a cognate of the Latin " cornu " ( see Grimm's Law for more details on this linguistic feature ).

A famous example of such a shift is the well-known First Germanic Sound Shift or Grimm's Law, in which the Proto-Indo-European voiceless stop consonants became fricatives, the plain voiced stops became voiceless, and the breathy voiced stops became plain voiced:

The sound changes described by " Grimm's Law " appear to have affected names with older forms, apparently already in the 2nd century BC.

Herwig Wolfram locates the initial stages of Grimm's Law here.

He hypothesizes that the first sound shift of Grimm's Law was the result of non-native speakers attempting to pronounce Indo-European sounds, and that they resorted to the closest sounds in their own language in their attempt to pronounce them.

The corresponding Germanic forms have an f-by Grimm's Law: Old English firgen

The etymology of this word follows Grimm's Law by which Proto-Indo-European initial * k-becomes * h-in Germanic.

Like most Indo-European roots in the Germanic languages, it was altered by Grimm's law, so that Indo-European / p / > / f /, and / d / > / t /, as the German cognate furzen also manifests.

Grimm's law ( also known as the First Germanic Sound Shift or the Rask's-Grimm's rule ), named after Jacob Grimm, is a set of statements describing the inherited Proto-Indo-European ( PIE ) stop consonants as they developed in Proto-Germanic ( the common ancestor of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family ) in the 1st millennium BC.

Jacob is recognized for enunciating Grimm's law, the Germanic Sound Shift, that was first observed by the Danish philologist Rasmus Christian Rask.
