rmögnun

rmögnun is a term that appears in some theoretical linguistic discussions, particularly within certain frameworks of phonology. It is generally understood to refer to a hypothetical or theoretical sound change that involves a shift in the place or manner of articulation of a consonant, or a change in the quality of a vowel. The precise nature of rmögnun can vary depending on the specific linguistic theory being applied, and it is not a universally recognized or defined phonological process across all linguistic traditions.

The term itself is not a standard, widely adopted technical term in mainstream linguistics. Its usage is often confined to specific research papers or theoretical models where it might be introduced to describe a particular pattern of sound change observed or posited within a given language or language family. When encountered, it is important to consider the context in which it is used to understand the specific phonological transformation it is intended to describe. The etymology or origin of the term "rmögnun" is not immediately clear and likely stems from the specific academic work in which it was introduced.
