During the century that scholars have devoted to the study of Akkadian their views on the question, seemingly so simple, as to what the proper plural form of the masculine noun is, have strangely changed.
The interplay of sound change and analogy may create patterns so typical as to make it possible to recover from them the process to which they owe their existence. Such internal reconstruction serves to supplement the comparative method. In this paper sound changes are classified with regard to their effect on structure: 1. non-phonemic change; 2. phonemic change without loss of contrast; 3. unconditioned merger with loss of contrast; 4. conditioned merger with loss of contrast; 5. secondary rearrangement induced by a primary loss of contrast; 6. borrowed contrast.
