Ingmar, Markus, Reinhard and All:
Interesting that English retains a sound closer to German than fellow
Lowlands (e.g. we have fox, wax, flax etc., not something like "foss, wass,
flass") So the velar sound clearly faded out after the Anglo-Saxons and
their ilk left the mainland, and they lost any significant contact with the
"Old Country".
