Aspirated vs unaspirated stops are a very common example of allophones distinguished in other languages, as is the palatalisation of velars before front vowels ( " kill " vs " cool " ) .-- talk ) 20 : 02, 9 May 2016 ( UTC)

However the palatalisation of before front vowel produced different results in the Norman dialect that developed into J�rriais than in French . ( Many developments are similar to those in Italian, cf . " cento "-hundred and " faccia "-face ).

Since Old Irish generalised the palatal or nonpalatal quality across an entire consonant cluster, when the front vowel was lost, the palatalisation of the preceding consonants " extended " to the entire resulting consonant cluster, consisting of both the consonants before the syncopated vowel and the consonants after it.

Thus, while the noun " cenn " was raised to " cinn " in the genitive singular form ( along with palatalisation ), " ech " was not raised and retained its original vowel in its genitive singular form " eich ".

However, its most distinctive feature is the use of " meta-notations ", which are intended to cover cross-dialectal phonological variation, particularly in degrees of palatalisation; and " morpho-graphs ", which are used to represent the morphophonological alternation of case suffixes in different phonological environments.

For example, the noun " dorus " " door " originally had a front vowel " e " in the second syllable ( Proto-Celtic " * dworestu " ), but this did not cause palatalisation due to the u-affection of the final vowel.
