Praevocalic

1905: Etsko Kruisinga, A Grammar of the Dialect of West Somerset, pages 94⁽¹⁾ and 95⁽²⁾ ⁽¹⁾ Transposition of praevocalic r is very common, see § 66. ⁽²⁾ Postvocalic r has become praevocalic in urn, birthday.

1909: William Rennie, The Acharnians of Aristophanes, pages 220⁽¹⁾ and 224⁽²⁾ ⁽¹⁾ The close pronunciation of praevocalic ε in Boeotian would give ἄνθῐα, just as the Attic θεός becomes Boeotian and Laconian θῐός. ⁽²⁾ Praevocalic ε is represented by Boeotian ῐ.
