§§ 166-9] Gutturals 79 (ι) Ulfilas uniformly represented it by a single letter Θ. (a) Ulfílas wrote hw only in compound words where h and w came together by composition, e. g. ubuhwōpida «= uf + uh + wōpiđa, and he cried out ; baírhwakanđans = baírh 4· wakan· dans (pres. part, nom, ace. pi. of wakan, to wake, watch). (3) The principal parts of saíhran, to see, are the same as those of strong verbs with stems ending in a single consonant other than a nasal or liquid (f 307). (4) @ is treated as a single consonant in reduplicated syllables, as @ai@ōp, he boasted, inf. īuōpan.
			§ Ιββ. Prim. Germanic g, which only occurred after rj (§ 132), remained in Gothic as in the other Germanic languages, as tuggō, OE. tunge, OS. tunga, OHG. zunga, tongue; and similarly briggan, to bring; figgrs, finger ; huggrjan, to hunger; laggs, long. t|l67. The changes which Germanic 3 underwent in Gothic cannot be determined with perfect certainty. For the history of 5 in the other Germanic languages, see § 133. Initially, and medially after consonants, it probably became g, as Goth. OE. guma, O.Icel. gumi, OS. gumo, OHG. gomo, man; baírgan, O.Icel. bjarga, OE. beorgan, OHG. bergan, to hide ; and similarly gasts, guest; gíban, to give ; gōþs, good ; grētan, to weep ; faírguni, mountain ; tulgus, steadfast ; azgō, ash, cinder. t§l68. g (written g) remained medially between vowels, and medially after vowels before voiced consonants, as áugō, O.Icel. auga, OE. ēage, OS. ōga, OHG. ouga, eye; fugls, OE. fugol, OS. fugal, OHG. fogal, bird; and similarly agis, fright ; biugan, to bend ; steigan, to ascend; bagms, tree ; lagjan, to lay ; rign, rain ; tagr, tear. t§ 169. After vowels both finally and before -s, 5 probably became χ (=NHG. ch), but was written g. This change °f 3 to X can De assumed from the corresponding Gothic treatment of ft (§ 1Θ1) and đ (§ 173).
