NOTE.—Causative verbs had originally suffix accentuation, and therefore also exhibit the change of consonants given above.

Goth, waírban, to become—fra-vvarđjan, to destroy, cp. Skr. vartá-yāmi, / cause to turn; Goth, leiban, OE. līban, to go—OE. lædan from *laidjan, to lead; Goth, ur-reisan, OE. ā-rīsan, to arise—Goth, ur-ráisjan, to raise up, OE. ráēran, to raise; Goth, ga-nisan, to become whole, OE. ge-nesan, to be saved—Goth. nasjan, OE. nerian, to save; Goth. *leisan (cp. ι sing, láis, / know), to know—Goth, láisjan, OE. læran, to teach. Cp. the regular form hazjan, beside OE. herian, to praise.

Other Consonant Changes.

§ 188. Most of the sound changes comprised under this paragraph might have been disposed of in the paragraphs treating of the shifting of the Indg. mediae and mediae aspiratae, but to prevent any possible misunderstanding or confusion, it was thought advisable to reserve them for a special paragraph.
