	Ablaut
		Indo-European had a characteristic general ablaut sequence that contrasted the vowel phonemes o/e/ə/Ø through the same root.
		Most philologists believe that the presence of laryngeals in the Indo-European roots, and their subsequent loss in most daughter languages, led to the development of several parallel ablaut sequences in Indo-European and its daughter languages.
		Ablaut is a semi-regular phenomenon that affects whole classes of verbs in Ancient Greek and Sanskrit.

	Robert Mailhammer
		This paper argues that the status of ablaut in the verbal system of Germanic is typologically distinct from that of Indo-European due to a fundamental change in verbal stem formation.
		This is why Indo-European verbs cannot be categorised according to ablaut patterns.
		As a result, ablaut in Germanic occupies a position which is typologically distinct from that in Indo-European but very similar to that in Semitic languages.

	NHG Grammar: Ablaut
		Ablaut is a common Germanic phenomenon, and has parallels in other Indo-European language groups, so the origins of the alternation must lie in the Indo-European (maybe even pre-Indo-European) period.
		However, no other IE family has systematized ablaut alternation to the same extent as Germanic, so it is generally believed that the systematic way in which ablaut is used in the Germanic languages reflects a Germanic innovation.
		der/das Band, der Bund) show a characteristic vowel alternation, which is called ablaut, sometimes apophony, sometimes vowel gradation.

	About Ablaut
		I suspect the Siouanists are actually thinking of the Proto-Indo-European thematic stem-formant -e/o-, which, of course, does ablaut, like several other PIE stem-formants, though it isn't "the ablaut vowel."
		This changing vowel is called 'the ablaut(ing) vowel' by modern Dakotanists, in spite of a general protest among Indo-Euorpeanists that this isn't quite what they had in mind by ablaut.
		The final -a is a stem-forming suffix that changes to -e when certain enclitics follow it, e.g., the diminutive =la.

	Ablaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Various factors such as vowel harmony, assimilation with nasals, or the effect of the presence of laryngeals in the Indo-European roots and their subsequent loss in most daughter languages, mean that a language may have several different vowels representing a single vowel in the parent language.
		The term "ablaut" was coined by the linguist Jacob Grimm, though the phenomenon was first described a century earlier by the Dutch linguist Lambert ten Kate in his book Gemeenschap tussen de Gottische spraeke en de Nederduytsche (1710).
		Although PIE only had this one, basically regular ablaut sequence, the development in the daughter languages is frequently far more complicated, and few reflect the original system as neatly as Greek.
