* Verner's full official title was Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women and Minister for la Francophonie.

Verner's win in the 2006 election, was one of the first ever Quebec victories for the Conservative Party of Canada.

* * đ (/ ð /) was derived by Grimm's law from PIE * dʰ or by Verner's law ( i. e. when immediately following an unstressed syllable ) from PIE * t.

When Verner first moved to the United States, the male member of a popular ice-skating pair had the surname Vernon ; Americans continually mistook Verner's last name to be the same as the popular ice skater, and eventually the magician became fed up with correcting people and simply adopted " Vernon " as well.

( G = Grimm's law ; V = Verner's law ) Note that the pairs of words used to illustrate sound shifts must be cognates ; they need not be semantic equivalents.

Verner's law, stated by Karl Verner in 1875, describes a historical sound change in the Proto-Germanic language whereby voiceless fricatives * f, * þ, * s, * h, * hʷ, when immediately following an unstressed syllable in the same word, underwent voicing and became respectively the fricatives * b, * d, * z, * g, * gʷ.

( In Proto-Germanic, voiced fricatives were allophones of their corresponding voiced plosives when they occurred between vowels, semivowels and liquids, so we write them here as * b, * d, * g. But the situations where Verner's law applied resulted in fricatives in these very circumstances, so we understand these phonemes as fricatives in this context.

There is a spinoff from Verner's Law: the rule accounts also for PGmc * z as the development of PIE * s in some words.

Since this * z changed to * r in the Scandinavian languages and in West Germanic ( German, Dutch, English, Frisian ), Verner's Law resulted in alternation of * s and * r in some inflectional paradigms, known as grammatischer Wechsel.

In the bottom row, for each pair, the sound on the right represents the sound changed according to Verner's Law.

He is remembered today for Verner's law, which he discovered in 1875.

This led to the formation of Verner's Law.

Notable among these are Grimm's law and Verner's law in Proto-Germanic, loss of prevocalic * p-in Proto-Celtic, reduction to h of prevocalic * s-in Proto-Greek, Brugmann's law and Bartholomae's law in Proto-Indo-Iranian, Grassmann's law independently in both Proto-Greek and Proto-Indo-Iranian, and Winter's law and Hirt's law in Balto-Slavic.

In Proto-Germanic consonant alternations known as grammatischer Wechsel developed, as a result of Verner's law.

In his 1964 presidential address to the Linguistic Society of America, American linguist Charles Hockett considered Syntactic Structures one of " only four major breakthroughs in modern linguistics ", alongside Sir William Jones's address to the Asiatic Society in 1786, Karl Verner's Eine Ausnahme der ersten Lautverschiebung in 1875 and Ferdinand de Saussure's Cours de Linguistique Générale in 1916.

In historical linguistics, the German term grammatischer Wechsel (" grammatical alternation ") refers to the effects of Verner's law when viewed synchronically within the paradigm of a Germanic verb.

Note that this table lists only the outcome of word-internal consonants, since word-initial consonants were generally not affected by Verner's law.

Verner's law is a famous example of the Neogrammarian hypothesis, as it resolved an apparent exception to Grimm's law.

It is also known as the " second Germanic " consonant shift to distinguish it from the "( first ) Germanic consonant shift " as defined by Grimm's law, and its refinement, Verner's law.

The law affects the various series of stops in Proto-Indo-European that underwent Grimm's and Verner's law.
