Iagree with Professor Curtius and other scholars that the impulse to what we call Lautverschiebung was given by the third modification in each series of consonants, by the gh, dh, bh in Sanskrit, the ch, th, ph, in Greek. Idiffer from him in considering the changes of Lautverschiebung as the result of dialectic variety, while he sees their motive power in phonetic corruption.
