One of the basic tenets of the Neogrammarians was the Regularity Principle:
All sound changes, as mechanical processes, take place according to laws that
admit no exceptions (ausnahmslose Lautgesetze) within the same dialect, and
the same sound will in the same environment always develop in the same way....
