Indo-European ablaut

In linguistics, the Indo-European ablaut (/ˈæblaʊt/, from German Ablaut pronounced [ˈaplaʊt]) is a system of apophony in the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE). An example of ablaut in English is the strong verb sing, sang, sung and its related noun song, a paradigm inherited directly from the Proto-Indo-European stage of the language. All modern Indo-European languages have inherited the feature, though its prevalence varies strongly.
