The essay represents the thesis that the s-mobile phenomenon had not only appeared in Indo-European, but stayed alive in Germanic until after the First Sound Shift. With this assumption a number of words with Germanic p-, t-, k- as initial sound can be put down to elder sp-, st-. sk- forms and can thus be better etymologized than until now. Furthermore, some words traditionally being seen as loanwords can be classified as Germanic. As shown in the essay new possibilities for interpreting river- and place-names arise.
