Similarly as above, a vowel may be inserted in the middle of a word to resolve an impermissible word-final consonant cluster. An example of this can be found in Lebanese Arabic, where /ˈʔalɪb/ 'heart' corresponds to Modern Standard Arabic /qalb/ and Egyptian Arabic /ʔælb/. In the development of Old English, Proto-Germanic 'field, acre' would have ended up with an impermissible final cluster (*"æcr"), so it was resolved by inserting an /e/ before the rhotic consonant: (cf. the use of a syllabic consonant in Gothic ).
