30. Vowels are often lengthened before _l_ + cons.: _h??lfr_ (half

_??x_, _vinna_ (to win), _unninn_ (won _ptc._), _svelta_ (to

Final _r_ is often assimilated to a preceding cons.
32. _*-lr_, _*-nr_, _*-sr_ always become _-ll_, _-nn_, _-ss_
after a long vowel or diphthong, as in _st??ll_ (chair _nom._),
acc. _st??l_, _steinn_ (stone _nom._), acc. _stein_, _v?«ss_ (wise
_masc. nom. sg._), _v?«s_ fem. nom. sg., and in unacc. syllables,
as in the masc. sg. nominatives _mikill_ (great), fem. _mikil_,
_borinn_ (carried), fem. _borin_, _??miss_ (various) fem. _??mis_.
33. Words in which _l_, _n_, _r_, _s_ are preceded by a cons.
drop the _r_ entirely, as in the masc. nominatives _jarl_ (earl),
_hrafn_ (raven), _vitr_ (wise), _??urs_ (giant), _lax_ (salmon).
