1. Story
2. The second edition of the first volume of Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Grammatik presented the Germanic consonant changes as an ordered shift affecting whole series of sounds together rather than as a list of individual correspondences. Framing the changes as a system is what converted them into a law: a systematic statement generates predictions in words not yet examined, and can therefore fail. Every subsequent development in the field — the search for conditioning factors, the doctrine of exceptionless change, the reconstruction of unattested segments — follows from treating sound change as rule-governed.

26. Evidence
27. Supports the attribution to Grimm of the systematic, series-based statement of the first Germanic consonant shift. V55 verification basis: this session had no access to any source — WebFetch was egress-blocked for every host attempted and the WebSearch budget was exhausted before authoring — so the cited work was not retrieved, and no page, volume or figure quoted from it was re-checked. No section or page of the Grammatik is cited, and the example word-pairs given in this pack are drawn from the standard textbook presentation rather than from Grimm's text.
