I-mutation is particularly important because it was productive in the prehistory of the Germanic languages and led to many alternations that are visible in the morphology of these languages, due to the prevalence of inflectional suffixes containing an /i/ or /j/.
It seems to have taken effect earliest, and was most complete in its implementation, in Old English and Old Norse.
I-mutation is particularly visible in the inflectional and derivational morphology of Old English.

The linguistic period designated as "Middle Dutch" is generally held to encompass the language used from about the 12th century until the beginning of the 16th.
The paucity of texts which is so problematic for students of Old Low Franconian (or Old Dutch) is far less of an issue during this period.
It should be pointed out, however, that in spite of certain common developments from the Old Dutch period (briefly mentioned above) the term 'Middle Dutch' is a philological convenience, referring to an abstraction, not a unified language - as is in fact the case for all medieval languages.
