Do not fill this in! ====Lack of umlaut==== Most conspicuously, Gothic shows no sign of morphological umlaut. Gothic {{lang|got-Latn|fotus}}, {{abbr|pl.|plural}} {{lang|got-Latn|fotjus}}, can be contrasted with English ''foot'' : ''feet'', German {{lang|de|Fuß}} : {{lang|de|Füße}}, Old Norse {{lang|non|fótr}} : {{lang|non|fœtr}}, Danish {{lang|da|fod}} : {{lang|da|fødder}}. These forms contain the characteristic change {{IPA|/u/}} > {{IPA|/iː/}} (English), {{IPA|/uː/}} > {{IPA|/yː/}} (German), {{IPA|/oː/}} > {{IPA|/øː/}} (ON and Danish) due to i-umlaut; the Gothic form shows no such change.
