No; on the one hand that's not a definition, and on the other it's not

Okay, I surrender. Sound laws can't be violated. Fine
with me. Fantastic, even. A real boost for linguistics.
Yesterday evening I gave some consideration to your
name. Your family must have medieval ancestors in
Germany by the name of Schlemil. By and by, Schle-
turned into Da-, and -mil turned into -niels. As for your
given name, the medieval German equivalent was
of course Brunhild. By and by, Brunhil- became P-,
and -d became -eter. No violation of a sound law.
Sound laws can't be violated. Says Brunhild Y.
Schlemil. Aka Peter T. Daniels.

Franz, you are more obtuse than "analyst." You have _still_ not
learned what "sound law" means.

Please learn the meaning of "experiment."

What dibbuk is riding you? My understanding and use
of the word experiment is exactly conform with the
definition in my Webster's Unabridged.

Which you don't bother to cite.
