#ēa# is normally _ea_, deaþ, heafod, bereaued, seaþe E 8, &c., but _æ_ in dædan 3/42, beræfed C 7, sæþe, and _e_, birefedest G 12. The _i_-umlaut of #ēa# is _e_, alesed, iheren E 26, semdest 4/18, &c. (Bülbring, § 183 _n._); and _u_, huned D 47 (WS. #ȳ#). #ēo# is normally _eo_, beoþ, teoreþ, leoflic, freonden, &c. Its _i_-umlaut does not occur; deore C 47, neowe C 29, neode F 5, retain _eo_ (Bülbring, § 189, anm. 1). #īe# is _e_ in isene, E 40; yet C 2. #a# + #g# is usually _aw_, as in dawes 2/14, gnawen C 42, mawe C 49, but the older deaȝes survives 3/40. #æ# + #g# is normally _ei_, iseid, but isæid G 19, and once dai E 13. #e# + #g# is _ei_, ileide: weile 4/19 may represent OE. #weg lā# (see Björkman, Scandinavian Loan-Words, 51). OE. #ongegn# is onȝean C 6, aȝan C 18. #o# + #g# is _ow_, bowe C 4, forhoweþ: #o# + #h#, douhter G 31, wrouhte E 16, but wrohten D 25: #u# + #ȝ#, fuweles 4/42: #y# + #h#, tuhte E 22. #ā# + #g# is _ow_ in owen C 45, sidwowes C 30: #ā# + #h# is seen in ohtest C 8, ahte E 2, 29 (a survival). #ǣ# + #g# is _eiȝ_, iseiȝe D 8, leiȝe D 11, keiȝe F 16; _ei_ in clei: #ǣ# + #h#, aeihte 3/13, bitæiht G 52. #ē# + #g#, sweiȝe E 24. #ō# + #g#, #h#, inouh, unifouh D 39, souhte, ibrouht. #ū# + #h# is seen in þuþte 3/12 (= þuhte). #ea# + #ht#, becomes _ei_, istreiht, unseihte D 45. #eo# + #h# (LWS #i#) has _i_ in riht; the _i_-umlaut is represented by besihþ 3/45. #ēa# + #g#, eiȝen, heiȝe E 39, but eȝen 3/42 and heie G 40: #ēa# + #h# is _eih_ in neih, heih G 42, but þauh G 27. #ēo# + #g#, dreiȝen G 6, but driæn 4/36, written for drien, is due to the scribe and may be Mercian; ifreoed 4/28 is noteworthy. #ā# + #w# is usually _ow_, sowle C 2, blowen E 32, nowiht D 19, but soule, nouht. #ō# + #w#, touward F 29, but reoweþ C 45. #ēa# + #w#, strau D 14. #ēo# + #w#, usually eow, cneow C 27, icneowe C 27, þeow, þeowdome, but reouliche F 19, heou G 22. In the vowels of final syllables, levelling has generally taken place, but a few older forms, isceæftan, heafod, dædan, cumaþ, biddan, offrian, weolan, remain from the original MS. In lufedæst, willæn, driæn, &c., _æ_ is written for _e_. The prefix #ge# is represented by _i_. The consonants present little of note. OE. #nā māra# becomes one word with doubled _m_ and shortened _a_ in nammore 3/34 (comp. wumme 2/13 note). farene 4/28, with _n_ for _nn_, is exceptional. OE. #ǣfre# is æffre 2/14, so næffre C 6, but æfre 3/3. For #f# between two vowels _u_ is generally written, bereaued 2/22, but beræfedest E 20. In mænet 2/7 _t_ is French writing for þ: schal 2/9 is isolated, _sc_ [š] is the rule, as in onscunedest 3/3: _k_ is written mostly before _e_ and _ie_, while _ȝ_ is used initially for the palatal (y in yield) and between vowels, once finally in lutiȝ 3/2 where the original probably had lutiȝe; _g_ in other cases and mostly in combination with consonants. For #cw#, French _qu_ is used once in quale 4/42.
