Many
of
the
preceding
phenomena
(esp.
in
I.
and
III)
could
not
possibly
be
accounted
for,
unless
we
assumed
that,
at
some
early
time,
when
those
changes
took
place,
the
v
was
sounded,
not
as
a
consonant,
but
as
a
kind
of
oo
sound,
half
consonant,
half
vowel;
if
so,
no
sound
could
answer
more
nearly
to
it
than
the
mod.
Engl.
w;
the
change
may
have
taken
place
at
a
very
early
date,
prob.
before
the
settlement
of
Icel.
Norse
words
in
the
Shetland
and
Orkney
dialects
point
to
v
not
w,
e.g.
voe
=
Icel.
