“This Proto-Indo-European system of vowels contrasting with resonants was reshaped in Germanic by a number of changes.”
“The consonant system was still that of PIE minus palatovelars and laryngeals, but the loss of syllabic resonants already made the language markedly different from PIE proper.”
“In older usage, only the term resonant was used with this meaning, and sonorant was a narrower term, referring to all resonants except vowels and semivowels.”
