can find phonological processes that can be analysed as Sandhi. For example some varieties of Central Hessian show a vowel length alternation where, if the same long vowel were else to repeat in two consecutive syllables, the vowel is shortened/reduced in the first, but maintained in the second. Examples are [hIgi:] for HG hingehen ("go towards") (hin corresponds to [hi:] in Hessian) or [k?n a:n??] for HG kein einziger ("no single [thing]").
