Rask publishes the Germanic consonant correspondences

Assembled from 20 blocks · 1 evidence · 9 related

1. Story
2. Rasmus Rask's investigation of the origin of Old Norse, submitted as a prize essay and published in 1818, set out the systematic consonant correspondences between Germanic and the other Indo-European languages that would later be known as Grimm's Law, together with an argument for the relatedness of the Germanic, Baltic, Slavic, Greek and Latin languages. Rask worked in Danish and his priority is undisputed; the law carries another name largely because Grimm's later formulation reached a wider readership and framed the changes as a connected system.

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 chapter or page is cited, because the book was not opened in this session; the citation identifies the work a curator should check the general account against.
