What happened in West Germanic somewhen between the gods
know when and the first attestation of Old English is that
the stop allophone was generalized, whereafter /T/ became
[e] in voiced environments.
That must be a typo! A voiceless dental fricative becomes a short front mid-close unrounded vowel!!? Shurely shome mishtake?
