In linguistics , open syllable lengthening is the process by which Short vowel short vowels become long when in an open syllable . It occurs in many languages at a phonetic or Allophone allophonic level, where no meaningful distinction in length is made. However, as it became phonemic in the Germanic languages , it is especially significant there, both historically and in the modern languages. Germanic languages Open syllable lengthening affected the stressed syllables of all Germanic languages in their history to some degree. Curiously, it seems to have affected all the languages around a similar time, somewhere between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries the late Middle Ages . The languages mainly differ in which vowels were lengthened and in which specific environment, but also in what the result of this lengthening was. There is substantial variation and in many languages the process has been largely undone by paradigmatic leveling . Sometimes, the newly lengthened vowels merged with existing long vowels, while in other languages they remained distinct because the older long vowels underwent changes of their own such as in Icelandic, and in the Scandinavian languages to a lesser degree . The lengthening often also applied in reverse at some point, shortening long vowels in closed syllables. As a consequence of the combination of these two changes, vowel length and consonant length came to be in complementary distribution . Because of that, consonant length was no longer a distinctive feature, and long consonants were shortened in many languages at some point afterwards. This in turn had consequences for spelling, in which consonant length was generally marked by doubling in the various Germanic languages, but vowel length was not. The doubled consonants then came to be used ... even when this is not etymological. English main Middle English phonology Open syllable lengthening ... syllable lengthening in the latter word .

unreferenced date May 2010 Weight classes are divisions of competition used to match competitors against others of their own size. This reduces the exclusion of smaller athletes in sports where physical size gives a significant advantage. Weight classes are used in a variety of sports, especially combat sports such as boxing , wrestling , and mixed martial arts . The existence of weight divisions gives rise to the practice of weight cutting . It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through dieting and dehydration prior to weigh ins to meet the required weight class.
