Usage notes

 * The table below shows the inherited distribution of g, with palatalization between original front vowels. At the time palatalization occurred, the nominative singular would been *hālægǣ [ˈhɑː.læ.ɣæː], with a medial *æ that was later syncopated creating the environment for palatalization. Meanwhile, the genitive plural would have been *hālægōnā [ˈhɑː.læ.ɣoː.nɑː]—or possibly *hālæganā [ˈhɑː.læ.ɣɑ.nɑː], with the short *a already leveled in from the masculine n-stem declension. In either case, the genitive plural would not have been palatalized.
