§ 22. An unstressed vowel may be lost, particularly if next another vowel or a weaklv stressed syllable. This is most apt to happen to the unstressed vowel that is produced with least displacement of the tongue, namely j, written e in ME as in German, cf. § 4 Note r.
Note. — Wt)rds tlial only oceasionally lose ttiial e, retain 11, at the end of a verse; thcsLudeul will need to exercise special caution in tliis matter.
Loss of Weak E.
§23. Unstressed e is generally silent under the following cir
...cumstances: — i) When two adjoining syllables contain weak e, one e only is sounded: l6ued(e) i66, semed(e) 39, bismot(e)red or -er(e)d 76, feth(e)res 107, fyng[e]res 129, neuCe)re or neuer(e} 70, wedded[e] 868 (cf. Ten Brink top p. 140; th^r has evidently been lost before the "the").
2) After an unstressed syllable that may bear the stress: pilgrim(e)s 26, ma'ner[e] 71 but mane^re 140. (In bod'yes 942, 944, &c. , i or y is consonantal and not syllabic, cf. § 32. ) Similarly after secondary stress: shirreu(e) 359.
