Two competing theories exist about the Proto-Germapic syllabication of VCW and similar sequences: one proposes that the division was V.qv, the other, VC.W. Furthermore, three major phonological developments in Germanic groups have never received a satisfactory explanation: consonant gemination in West Germanic, vowel lengthening (with differential constraints) in North Germanic, and glide strengthening in Gothic. This paper proposes a uniform solution for all these problems, based on independently established principles of syllabic phonology: a preference (at least in the Germanic languages) for stressed syllables that h1've two morae (Prokosch 1939), and a universal preference for syllable onsets that are at least as strong as the preceding syllable offset (fIooper 1976). We provide various kinds of evidence for a Proto-Germanic syllabication VC.W which is in accordance with Prokosch's principle, but not with Hooper's; and we then explain subsequent developments as different ways of rebalancing th~ syllable structure to accord with b<]th Prokosch's and Hooper's pripciples: VC.W > VC.qv in West Germanic; VC.W > V.qv in North Germanic; and VC.W > VC.jV in Gothic.*
