In most cases the two forms will have undergone sound and/or meaning changes and will therefore no longer be identical in their phonetic form and/or meaning.<br /> <br /> ===Comments===<br /> By comparing a set of cognates in two related languages [[regular sound correspondences]] can be established with the [[comparative method]]. In this way [[sound change]]s like the ones described by [[Grimm's Law]] can be recognized.<br /> <br /> Historical continuity between the forms compared is a necessary condition to be considered cognate. Yet, several factors lead to lack in continuity. Fox (1995: 62f.) lists replacement of words and remodeling via [[analogy]] as the main factors for this. He further notes that replacement of a word by a [[loan]] from a related language or dialect as well as similarity of forms due to &quot;universal processes of invention&quot; (such as [[onomatopoeia]]) can often lead to a wrong assumption of continuity and/or relatedness.<br /> <br /> ===Reference===<br /> <br /> *Fox, Anthony. 1995.
