Es fängt an zu regnen und zu schneien. PG. es fangt (not fängt) aa˛ tsu reeghǝrǝ un tsu schneeǝ. _It begins to rain and to snow._ § 10. _Words shortened._ Condensation is effected by absorption, as of _d_ by _n_ in 'wunǝr' (wonder) G. _wunder_; and of _f_ by _p_ in 'kǝp' (head) G. _kopf_;--by the elision of consonants (an Austrian feature) as in 'wet' (would) G. _wollte_; 'net' (not) G. _nicht_. By elision of vowels (particularly final _e_) as in 'schuul' (school) G. _schule_, 'tsammǝ' (together) G. _zusammen_; and by shortening vowels, as in 'siw'ǝ' (seven) G. _sieben_; 'gew'ǝ' (to give) G. _gēben_; G. _heurathen_ (to marry), Suab. heuren, PG. 'heiǝrǝ'; G. _gleich_ (like) PG. 'glei'; 'tsimlich' (tolerable) G. _ziemlich_. PG. G. E. PG. G. E.
