I think I get the general gist of Morphological Leveling, but I don’t understand Ablaut Leveling
Ablaut is a feature in Indo European languages where the vowel sound of a root changes for different forms of a word. An example from English: “sing” is conjugated to “sang” and “sung”. Ablaut leveling would be losing the distinction between the vowels in different forms of the same word.
When we fix the irregular verb sing we will create a new heteronym between singed-as-past-of-sing and singed-as-past-of-singe 🫠
