Word origin
Borrowed from German Ablaut (“sound gradation”), which is from ab- or ab (“down, off”), + Laut (“sound”). Ab is used here in the sense of “deviating, varying” as in Abgott (“god other than the true God”), Abart (“different sort, variety, anomality”).
Used in a sentence
“This root must once have ablauted, given the associated nominal derivatives prthii- 'broad', prthivl- 'earth'. However, it does not ablaut at all in its verbal forms.”
“What we find is that one cannot predict which members of V a given member of E will cause to ablaut”
“It is these co-opted verbs that tend to ablaut variably in the different Dakotan dialects and that forced morphological restructuring”
