The origin of Thurneysen's law. A detailed analysis of the evidence

Herewith are presented the results of the investigation into Thurneysen's law in Gothic alluded to in my earlier article (Woodhouse 1998) on early Germanic obstruent development. For a good introduction to Thurneysen's law with literature, discussion of a number of key issues, including criticism of recent views, the reader is referred to Suzuki (1992). Some criticisms of Suzuki's own views are contained in my earlier (1998) paper.
