[edit] Merger?

Consonant mutation, Consonant gradation, Spirantization, Lenition, Fortition and Fortis and lenis all seem to be about the same kind of phenomenon. Perhaps they should be merged. FilipeS 21:29, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I vote for separate articles; together with insertion, deletion, metathesis, assimilation, dissimilation, etc., fortition and deletion form major categories for sound change. --Kjoonlee 19:52, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Consonant mutation and consonant gradation are important specific cases, and fortis vs lenis is not really the same as forition vs lenition. Spirantization looks like a good candidate for merging into the lenition article, tho. --Tropylium (talk) 22:13, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Merged spirantization. That was a no-brainer. kwami (talk) 06:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
