Law of the open syllable
The law of the open syllable (also the tendency towards increasing sonority ) is a Slavic sound law . It denotes the opening of syllables that are closed by r and l. This is done in the South Slavic and West Slavic languages by means of the Liquidametathesis (e.g. original Slavic gard , Bulgarian grad ). In the East Slavic languages this is done by polo glaze, i.e. H. filling up the syllable with a vowel (e.g. Ur-Slavic gard , Russian gorod ).
